Human Erythrocyte Acetylcholinesterase in Health and Disease.
نویسنده
چکیده
The biochemical properties of erythrocyte or human red blood cell (RBC) membrane acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and its applications on laboratory class and on research are reviewed. Evidence of the biochemical and the pathophysiological properties like the association between the RBC AChE enzyme activity and the clinical and biophysical parameters implicated in several diseases are overviewed, and the achievement of RBC AChE as a biomarker and as a prognostic factor are presented. Beyond its function as an enzyme, a special focus is highlighted in this review for a new function of the RBC AChE, namely a component of the signal transduction pathway of nitric oxide.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition is important because of its health-related implications. Three porphyrin derivatives, Tetraphenylporphinesulfonate (TPPS), 5, 10, 15, 20-Tetrakis (4sulfonatophenyl) porphyrinato Iron (III) Chloride (FeTPPS) and 5, 10, 15, 20-Tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrinato Iron (III) nitrosyl Chloride (FeNOTPPS), were tested by Molecular Docking as inhibitors of ...
متن کاملHuman erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase bears the Yta blood group antigen and is reduced or absent in the Yt(a-b-) phenotype.
The Cartwright (Yt) blood group antigens have previously been shown likely to reside on a phosphatidylinositol-linked erythrocyte membrane protein. In this study, an unusual individual whose red blood cells (RBCs) were of the previously unreported Yt(a-b-) phenotype were used, along with normal Yt(a+) cells, to investigate serologically and biochemically the relationship of the Yta antigen to k...
متن کاملAge-dependent decline in erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase activity: correlation with oxidative stress.
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress hypothesis offers a mechanism for the aging process and its involvement in other pathologies such as diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer. AChE activity in erythrocytes may be considered as a marker of central cholinergic status. The present study was undertaken to (i) determine the activity of erythrocyte AChE as a function of human process (ii) co...
متن کاملEvidence that the antigens of the Yt blood group system are located on human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase.
The Yt blood group system comprises two antigens, Yta and Ytb. Human anti-Yta and human anti-Ytb immune precipitate a component of the same apparent molecular weight as acetylcholinesterase from radioiodinated erythrocytes of appropriate Yt phenotype. Immune precipitates obtained with anti-Yta and anti-Ytb contained acetylcholinesterase activity. In contrast, immune precipitates obtained with h...

Background and Objective: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a multifactorial disease with debilitating consequences and few therapeutic strategies exist for it. With regard to antioxidant capacity and anti-β-amyloid polymerization potential of ellagic acid, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of this substance on enhanced acetylcholinesterase reactivity in an experimental model of Alzheim...
