BChE is an enzyme that hydrolyzes choline-based esters. In the brain, it works alongside acetylcholinesterase (AChE) to regulate levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Since cholinergic deficits are a hallmark of AD, both enzymes have been studied in relation to AD pathology.
- In some AD patients, BChE activity increases relative to AChE.
