Butyrylcholinesterase

Butyrylcholinesterase (HGNC symbol BCHE), also known as BChE, BuChE, pseudocholinesterase, or plasma cholinesterase, is a nonspecific cholinesterase enzyme that hydrolyses many different choline-based esters. In humans, it is made in the liver, found mainly in blood plasma, and encoded by the BCHE gene.
