Human acetylcholinesterase in complex with huprine W and fasciculin 2

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23679855

Function

[ACES_HUMAN] Terminates signal transduction at the neuromuscular junction by rapid hydrolysis of the acetylcholine released into the synaptic cleft. Role in neuronal apoptosis.[1] [2] [3] [4] [TXFA2_DENAN] This three-finger toxin selectively binds and inhibits with a 1:1 stoichiometry the mammalian and electric fish acetylcholinesterase (AChE) at picomolar concentrations. It is highly specific for the peripheral site on acetylcholinesterase. It has been called fasciculin since after injection into mice it cause severe, generalized and long-lasting (5-7 hours) fasciculations. The whole venom has anticoagulant activity, and the various components seem to act synergistically.

About this Structure
