The activity of human ACHE was measured by monitoring the hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine (100 µM) with DTNB (100 µM) in the presence of either: 0.4, 0.2, 0.1, or 0.05 ng of human ACHE. The activity of human ACHE is greater than 550 nmole/µg/min. -
The aliquots of human ACHE were treated at five different conditions: one week at -20°C (Control), 4 freeze-and-thaw cycles (FTC), and one week at 4°C (4 C). Human ACHE is stable at all of the conditions tested compared to the control.

Acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) is a member of the alpha/beta hydro lase superfamily. It is a serine hydrolase with a carboxyl esterase activity. Its main function is to terminate transmission at cholinergic synapses by hydrolyzing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACH). Its inhibitors, such as donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine, have been approved to treat mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease and other dementia. Although ACHE is an essential enzyme primarily expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, its expression has been observed in various cell types including fibroblasts, osteoblasts, erythrocytes, vascular endothelial cells, and leukocytes. In addition to the main function, its role includes neurogenesis, neurodegeneration, apoptotic sensitivity, cellular proliferation and differentiation, and a possible role on tumorigenesis. There are three distinct alternative splicing isoforms, which mainly are different in C-terminal region after Thr574. Tetrameric ACHE, synaptic isoform (ACHE-S), expresses in major at brain and muscle tissue. Dimeric ACHE, erythrocytic isoform (ACHE-E), with modification of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor, is an abundant form in human erythrocytes. The third readthrough isoform (ACHE-R) is a hydrophilic monomer produced at the cholinergic synapse in response to stress.

Human ACHE Activity Assay
Human ACHE activity is measured by its ability to cleave the acetylthiocholine. The accumulation of the product cleavage is monitored by increase in intensity of absorbance at 405 nm in the presence of DTNB.

- Assay Buffer: 0.1 M sodium phosphate, 0.05% Brij-35, pH 7.5.
- 5’,5’-Dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB)
- ACHE Substrate: Acetylthiocholine (ATC)
Assay Procedures
- Dilute rhACHE to 0.002 µg/mL.
- Dilute substrate to 200 µM in assay buffer containing 200 µM DTNB.
- Load 50 µL of rhACHE solution to clear plate. Include a control containing assay buffer only.
- Start reaction by adding 50 µL substrate/DTNB mixture.
- Read plate in kinetic mode for 5 minutes by monitoring absorbance at 405 nm.
- Calculate specific activity. Conversion factor of the product 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid by using extinction coefficient 13260 M-1cm-1, 0.32 cm of light path correction, and total volume of 100 µL: 23.6 pmol/mAu

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?
-
We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
