Bche - butyrylcholinesterase

Enables acetylcholinesterase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including acetylcholine catabolic process; neuroblast differentiation; and response to folic acid. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope lumen. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; ear; liver; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; coronary artery disease (multiple); diabetes mellitus (multiple); epilepsy; and inherited metabolic disorder. Orthologous to human BCHE (butyrylcholinesterase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
