...Melissa A. Pickett; Michael K. Dush; Nanette M. Nascone-Yoder Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is crucial for degrading acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses. In vitro studies suggest that, in addition to its role in nervous system signaling, AChE can also modulate non-neuronal cell properties, although...

... by labelling for acetylcholinesterase activity and expression of an antigen recognized by the monoclonal antibody zn-1. Among them are individually identified hindbrain reticulospinal neurones and spinal motoneurones. These obervations suggest that early development in these regions of the CNS reflects...

... the rostral half somite. We suggest that both cholinesterases might be involved in processes of motor unit differentiation and fibre guidance. Abbreviations: AChE, acetylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7); AChR, acetylcholine receptor; BChE, butyryl- or pseudo-, or serumcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8); BW 284C51, 1,5...

...Carla Falugi; Margherita Raineri ABSTRACT The distribution of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and pseudocholinesterase (BuChE) activities was studied by histochemical, quantitative and electrophoretical methods during the early development of chick limbs, from stage 16 to stage 32 H.H. ( Hamburger...
