A new high activity plasma cholinesterase variant.
A South African Afrikaans speaking family is reported in which a new high activity plasma cholinesterase variant was found to occur in the mother and son. The variant has the same electrophoretic mobility as the "usual' enzyme, but greater heat stability. Its higher specific activity is associated with a normal number of enzyme molecules. The variant may be inherited as a dominant trait, though...

Plasma Cholinesterase Activity in Alzheimer's Disease.
Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) are not allowed to be prescribed in combination, which means that we need to select 1 of 3 ChEIs for use in a patient with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, there is no quantitative analysis on the differences between these agents. In this article, we propose that plasma cholinesterase activity (pChE) could be used as the standard for differentiating between r...
متن کاملA new succinylcholine-based assay of plasma cholinesterase.
We describe a new method for measuring the in vitro rate of hydrolysis of the muscle relaxant succinylcholine. This substrate is hydrolyzed by plasma cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8). The resulting choline is determined by measuring the hydrogen peroxide formed on its oxidation by choline oxidase (EC 1.1.3.17). This is done by use of phenol and aminoantipyrine coupled to peroxidase, and yields an in...
متن کاملEvidence for a single butyrylcholinesterase gene in individuals carrying the C5 plasma cholinesterase variant (CHE2).
DNA of 3 unrelated individuals carrying the human plasma butyrylcholinesterase C5 variant (CHE2) was isolated from white blood cells. Southern blot patterns of DNA restriction fragments probed with each of the 4 butyrylcholinesterase exons provided evidence that the production of C5 is not directed by a second butyrylcholinesterase gene. This finding supports the suggestion that the C5 variant ...
