[Cholinesterase in the amnion of chick embryos].
Cholinesterase (ChE) activity in amnion was studied in developing chick embryos and the enzyme's substrate-inhibitory characteristics were established. The enzyme activity increased until the 8th day of incubation and then gradually decreased; on day 12-15 the activity is 40% only of the maximal one. On the basis of substrate-inhibitory analysis the enzyme was referred to propionyl-cholinesterases. Relations between age changes in ChE activity and morphological structure of smooth-muscle amnion tissue, its differentiation during development and functional activity of amnion are discussed.
