Cholinesterases functional definition

Pseudo-ChE (also known as butyryl-, plasma, and nonspecific cholinesterase) has a widespread distribution, with enzyme especially abundant in the liver, where it is synthesized, and in the plasma. In spite of the abundance of pseudo-ChE, its physiological function has not been definitively identified. It does, however, play an important role in the metabolism of such clinically important compounds as succinylcholine, procaine, and numerous other esters.
