Abstract excerpt
Certain organophosphates react with the active site serine residue of neuropathy target esterase (NTE) and cause axonal degeneration and paralysis. Cloning of NTE revealed the presence of homologues in eukaryotes from yeast to man and that the protein has both a catalytic and a regulatory domain. The latter contains sequences similar to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A, suggesting that NTE may bind...
