No, it is a neurotransmitter. A hormone, is a compound produced by an endocrine gland and released into the bloodstream. A neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals from a neuron to a target cell across the synapse and most are synthesized at the nerve terminals.

Which structure contains vesicles with acetylcholine?
Synaptic vesicles in the neuromuscular junction contain acetylcholine (ACh) which is the neurotransmitter for initiating muscular contractions.
What is an example of acetylcholine?
acetylcholine
Acetylcholine is an example of what neurotransmitter?
acetylcholine
What is the main neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system?
Parasympathetic system has acetylcholine as its chemical mediator.
The chemical that transmits the signal across the neuromuscular junction is called?
Acetylcholine
What neurotransmitter is found at the synapse between nerves and human skeletal muscle cells?
Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction.
What are the two excitatory neurotransmitters?
acetylcholine
Cholinesterase causes acetylcholine to do what?
Cholineesterase is enzyme that hydrolyses acetylcholine .
What chemical stimulates muscle contraction?
acetylcholine (ACh)
What Are Ach levels?
See Acetylcholine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcholine
What type of excitatory neurotransmitter is secreted by motor neurons innervating skeletal muscle?
Acetylcholine is the excitatory neurotransmitter released by neurons innervating skeletal muscles. Acetylcholine release stimulates muscle contraction by acting at the nicotinic-acetylcholine receptor on the surface of the muscle cell.
The two types of receptors that bind acetylcholine are?
nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR, also known as "ionotropic" acetylcholine receptors) are particularly responsive to nicotinemuscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR, also known as "metabotropic" acetylcholine receptors) are particularly responsive to muscarine.Nicotinic and muscarinic are two main kinds of "cholinergic" receptors.
