3.1.1.7 | acetylcholine + H2O |
acetylcholine protects cardiomyocytes from prolonged hypoxia through activation of the PI3K/Akt/HIF-1alpha/VEGF pathway and that cardiomyocyte-derived VEGF promotes angiogenesis in a paracrine fashion |

acetylcholinesterase is a serine hydrolase that catalyze the hydrolysis of acetylcholine, thus regulating cholinergic neurotransmission |
3.1.1.7 | acetylcholine + H2O |
acetylcholinesterase plays in vivo a key role in cholinergic transmission by catalysing the rapid hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into acetate and choline |
