| Activity regulation: | Inhibited by mercury. Inhibited by Tabun. Tabun forms a covalent adduct with Ser-226 that becomes irreversible upon aging. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17355286, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18975951, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19368529}. | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=18.0 uM for butyrylthiocholine (at 25 degrees Celsius) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25054547}; | |
| Subunit: | Homotetramer; disulfide-linked. Dimer of dimers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12869558, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15667209, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17355286, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17768338, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18975951, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19368529, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19542320, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3115973}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19368529, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19542320}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Detected in blood plasma (at protein level). Present in most cells except erythrocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19368529, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19542320}. | |
| Ptm: | N-glycosylated. No other PTM detected (PubMed:20946535). The major N-glycan structures are of the complex diantennary type with 1 and 2 N- acetylneuraminic acid molecules (Neu5Ac) making up approximately 33% and 47% of the total N-glycans, respectively. Only low amounts of fucosylated diantennary N-glycans are detected (approximately 2%). Triantennary N-glycans with or without fucose amount to approximately 13%, whereas 5% of the total N-glycans are of the oligomannosidic or hybrid type. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12869558, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14760718, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15667209, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16335952, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17355286, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17768338, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18203274, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18975951, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19139490, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19159218, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19368529, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20946535}. | |
| Disease: | Butyrylcholinesterase deficiency (BCHED) [MIM:617936]: An autosomal recessive metabolic condition characterized by increased sensitivity to certain anesthetic drugs, including the muscle relaxants succinylcholine or mivacurium. BCHED results in slower hydrolysis of these drugs and, consequently, a prolonged neuromuscular block, leading to apnea. The duration of the prolonged apnea varies significantly depending on the extent of the enzyme deficiency. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10404729, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11928765, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12881446, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1306123, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1349196, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1415224, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15563885, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15781196, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1611188, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16788378, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17700357, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18075469, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18300943, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25054547, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25264279, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2915989, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7634491, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8554068, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8680411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9110359, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9191541, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9388484, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9543549, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9694584}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
