Abstract
ConclusionsRabbit serum, contrary to previous observations, contains only one enzyme which hydrolyzes acetylcholine, and this one has the characteristics of a true cholinesterase. In addition, there is present in rabbit serum an enzyme which hydrolyzes only benzoylcholine, and which, since it does not hydrolyze acetylcholine significantly, should not be labeled a cholinesterase. This enzyme may be similar to the “benzQylcholin-esterase” described by Sawyer 10 as being present in guinea pig liver and kidney.
