Human Cholinesterase Gene Expression in Mammalian Cells: Proposed Nomenclaturefor Human Butyrylcholinesterase Genetic Variants Identified by DNA Sequencing

摘要

New information identifying nucleotide alterations of human butyrylcholinesteraseallows the use of more specific nomenclature for the various, commonly known as atypical, fluoride, silent, and K variant. In addition to suggesting a system of trivial names and abbreviations, we provide a list of formal names that follow the guidelines of the Committee for Human Gene Nomenclature. These include butyrylcholinesterase; serum cholinesterase; pseudocholinesterase; anionic site; atypical; silent; fluoride resistant; K variant; succinylcholine apnea.
