Gene Name:
ACHE
Uniprot ID:
P22303
Molecular Weight:
67795.525 Da
Mechanism of Action:
Guthion and its reactive metabolite, gutoxon, directly effect the nervous system by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the central and peripheral nervous system. Gutoxon reacts with a serine hydroxyl group at the active site of AChE, rendering it largely unreactive. Thus acetylcholine accumulates in the neuromuscular juntions of cholinergic nerves, causing continual stimulation of electrical activity by both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. Gutoxon has been shown to be the more potent inhibitor.

Specific Function:
Cytochromes P450 are a group of heme-thiolate monooxygenases. In liver microsomes, this enzyme is involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway. It oxidizes a variety of structurally unrelated compounds, including steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics. Most active in catalyzing 2-hydroxylation. Caffeine is metabolized primarily by cytochrome CYP1A2 in the liver through an initial N3-demethylation. Also acts in the metabolism of aflatoxin B1 and acetaminophen. Participates in the bioactivation of carcinogenic aromatic and heterocyclic amines. Catalizes the N-hydroxylation of heterocyclic amines and the O-deethylation of phenacetin.

General Function:
Steroid binding
Specific Function:
UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This isoform glucuronidates bilirubin IX-alpha to form both the IX-alpha-C8 and IX-alpha-C12 monoconjugates and diconjugate. Is also able to catalyze the glucuronidation of 17beta-estradiol, 17alpha-ethinylestradiol, 1-hydroxypyrene, 4-methylumbelliferone, 1-naphthol, paranitrophenol, scopoletin, and umbelliferone. Isoform 2 lacks transferase activity but acts as a negative regulator of isoform 1.
