chlorpyrifos | an anticholinesterase organophosphate insecticide used in the production of food derived from animal, fruit and horticultural origin. The therapeutic treatment of castrated male bovines treated with chlorpyrifos does not cause changes in the variables evaluated, i.e. total proteins, liver enzymes, urea, and creatinine | Bos taurus | |
additional information | enzyme BChE is not inhibited by high concentrations of substrate | Bos taurus |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is mainly present in plasma and generally hydrolyzes butyrylthiocholine at a higher rate than acetylthiocholine but unlike acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7), it is not inhibited by high concentrations of substrate. In cattle, 90% of cholinesterase enzyme activity is represented by AChE in erythrocytes with very low plasma BChE values | Bos taurus |
