As nouns the difference between butyrylcholine and pseudocholinesterase
is that butyrylcholine is a synthetic acetylcholine-like molecule, with activation of some of the same receptors, which is hydrolysed by acetylcholinesterase and (more efficiently) by butyrylcholinesterase while pseudocholinesterase is one of the two types of cholinesterase (the other being acetylcholinesterase), found primarily in the liver where it hydrolyses butyrylcholine.
