UniProtKB description: In muscle, it terminates signal transduction at the neuromuscular junction by rapid hydrolysis of the acetylcholine released into the synaptic cleft. In liver, its function is unclear: it could serve as a safeguard against any diffusion of acetylcholine from synapses into the circulation. In venom, its toxic role is unclear: it could result in less musculatory control by rapidly hydrolyzing acetylcholine, or that it works synergistically with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in paralyzing prey through hypotension.
