Butyrylcholinesterase is an enzyme with few known physiological functions. It is related to acetylcholine that was shown to be expressed in a variety of life forms. We performed a search using the human
butyrylcholinesterase
gene (HGNC:983;
MIM
:177400), and found the sequence in a broad spectrum including plants, bacteria and animals. Therefore
butyrylcholinesterase
appears to have evolved early in evolution, and to have been conserved.
