In this review, we will discuss the various sources of ACh that are relevant during immune responses and describe how ACh acts on immune cells to influence their functions. We will also address the …

We explore the historical development of acetylcholine research, particularly the pioneering work that established its role in neuromuscular transmission and cardiac regulation.

Acetylcholine (ACh) is critical for communication between neurons and muscle at the neuromuscular junction, is in-volved in direct neurotransmission in autonomic ganglia, and has been implicated in …

• In the cholinergic neurons acetylcholine is synthesized from choline. This reaction is activated by cholineacetyltransferase. As soon as acetylcholine is synthesized, it is stored within synaptic vesicles.

Conformational analysis of several agonists and antagonists can be used as a basis for the definition of structural parameters necessary for the range of activity of acetylcholine.

Acetylcholine is like your car’s accelerator. By providing the insulating layer around brain cells it prevents short-circuits and ensures rapid transmission of nerve signals. Idealists are the 17% of the …

In certain neurons, choline is metabolised into acetylcholine; the extra acetyl group is donated by acetyl-CoA (which draws on the inexhaustible supply of acetate anions which are constantly burned in the …
