Data from our laboratory and others demonstrate that acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is expressed transiently by neurons during periods of neurite outgrowth preceding synaptogenesis, suggesting an extrasynaptic function for this molecule. These findings, along with reports that AChE shares amino acid se
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) can promote neurite outgrowth through a mechanism that is independent of its role in hydrolyzing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It has been proposed that this neuritogenic capacity of AChE may result from its intrinsic capacity to function in adhesion. In this study
