Gene: BCHE

Alternate names for this Gene: BCHED|CHE1|CHE2|E1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a cholinesterase enzyme and member of the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family of proteins. The encoded enzyme exhibits broad substrate specificity and is involved in the detoxification of poisons including organophosphate nerve agents and pesticides, and the metabolism of drugs including cocaine, heroin and aspirin. Humans homozygous for certain mutations in this gene exhibit prolonged apnea after administration of the muscle relaxant succinylcholine.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3q26.1

Description of this Gene: butyrylcholinesterase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
