| 毒性 | The choline ester of aceticacid. ACh is released in vertebrates as the neurotransmitterfor cholinergic neurons in the CNS, as well as at severalperipheral locations: somatic neurons innervating skeletal muscle (neuromuscular junctions); preganglionic neurons inboth divisions of the autonomic nervous system; parasympatheticpostganglionic neurons; and a few sympathetic postganglionicneurons. ACh is synthesized from choline and acetylCoA by the mitochondrial enzyme choline acetyltransferase.Cholinergic receptors (cholinoceptors), that mediate the effectsof ACh, are generally classified as nicotinic or muscarinic,based on their binding preferences for nicotine and muscarine,respectively. ACh is hydrolyzed to choline and acetate byacetylcholinesterase, that is an important target for a variety oftoxic and therapeutic anticholinesterases, such as the nerveagents, carbamate, and organophosphorus insecticides. |
