Assay Procedure |
- Assay Buffer: 100 mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 7.5
- Recombinant Human Butyrylcholinesterase/BCHE (rhBCHE) (Catalog # 6137-CE)
- Substrate: Butyrylthiocholine chloride (BTC) (Sigma Catalog # B3128), 20 mM stock in DMSO
- 5,5’-dithio-bis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) (Sigma Catalog # D8130), 10 mM stock in DMSO
- 96 well Clear Plate (Costar, Catalog # 92592)
- Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
- Dilute rhBCHE to 0.02 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
- Dilute BTC and DTNB to 200 µM final concentrations in deionized water.
- Load into plate 50 µL of 0.02 µg/mL rhBCHE and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of the BTC/DTNB mixture to the wells. As a Substrate Blank, load 50 µL of Assay Buffer and 50 µL of the BTC/DTNB mixture.
- Read in kinetic mode for 5 minutes at an absorbance of 405 nm.
- Calculate specific activity:
Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) = |
Adjusted Vmax* (OD/min) x well volume (L) x 1012 pmol/mol |

- rhBCHE: 0.001 µg
- DTNB and BTC: 100 µM

Background
Butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) is a major acetylcholine hydrolyzing enzyme in the circulation (1). Although it is present in significant amounts in human plasma, no endogenous physiological substrate has been described for this enzyme. It can degrade a large number of ester-containing compounds besides acylcholines, including neurotoxic organophosphate esters. Thus, it plays significant pharmacological and toxicological roles. It is thought to be involved in the pathological progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by depleting acetylcholine. In contrast to ACHE, it attenuates amyloid fibril formation
in vitro (2). BCHE inhibitors have been used to delay symptoms of AD patients by virtue of their ability to enhance ACH availability (3). Its involvement in the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway connects BCHE and ACHE as possible markers of low-grade systemic inflammation observed in Type-2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and AD (4). BCHE can exist as monomers, dimers, or tetramers (1).
