An acetylcholinesterase-derived peptide inhibits endocytic membrane activity in a human metastatic breast cancer cell line.
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is well established as having non-cholinergic functions and is also expressed in breast tumours where its function(s) is not known. Recently, a candidate peptide sequence towards the C-terminal of the AChE molecule has been identified, as the salient site remote from norm...
