cholinesterase

In enzyme terms the difference between cholinesterase and acetylcholinesterase

is that cholinesterase is an enzyme, in muscles, nerves etc, that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine while acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid.

Cholinesterase vs Pyridostigmine - What's the difference?

cholinesterase | pyridostigmine |

As nouns the difference between cholinesterase and pyridostigmine

is that cholinesterase is (enzyme) an enzyme, in muscles, nerves etc, that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine while pyridostigmine is a parasympathomimetic and reversible cholinesterase inhibitor, used to treat muscle weakness and to combat the effects of curariform drug toxicity.

Cholinesterase vs Aldicarb - What's the difference?

cholinesterase | aldicarb |

As nouns the difference between cholinesterase and aldicarb

is that cholinesterase is (enzyme) an enzyme, in muscles, nerves etc, that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine while aldicarb is a carbamate insecticide that acts as a cholinesterase inhibitor.

Cholinesterase vs Pseudocholinesterase - What's the difference?

cholinesterase | pseudocholinesterase |

As nouns the difference between cholinesterase and pseudocholinesterase

is that cholinesterase is an enzyme, in muscles, nerves etc, that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine while pseudocholinesterase is one of the two types of cholinesterase (the other being acetylcholinesterase), found primarily in the liver where it hydrolyses butyrylcholine.

Cholinesterase vs Neostigmine - What's the difference?

cholinesterase | neostigmine |

As nouns the difference between cholinesterase and neostigmine

is that cholinesterase is an enzyme, in muscles, nerves etc, that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine while neostigmine is a parasympathomimetic, a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor.

Cholinesterase vs Carbaryl - What's the difference?

cholinesterase | carbaryl |

As nouns the difference between cholinesterase and carbaryl

is that cholinesterase is (enzyme) an enzyme, in muscles, nerves etc, that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine while carbaryl is (chemistry) a white crystalline solid of the carbamate family, a cholinesterase inhibitor used chiefly as an insecticide.

Cholinesterase vs Physostigmine - What's the difference?

cholinesterase | physostigmine |

As nouns the difference between cholinesterase and physostigmine

is that cholinesterase is (enzyme) an enzyme, in muscles, nerves etc, that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine while physostigmine is (chemistry) a parasympathomimetic, a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor alkaloid of the calabar bean, used to treat certain medical conditions.
