What is the name of LiC2H3O2?
lead acetate
Acetate dialysis definition?
define acetate dialysis
Is megestrol acetate a steroid?
Is megestrol acetate a steroid?
What is the difference between ethyl acetate and n propyl acetate?
Propyl acetate has one more carbon atom.
Zinc acetate react with sodium phosphate?
sodium acetate and zinc phosphate
What does acetylcholinerase do?
Also known as AChE, Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, resulting in choline and an acetate group. This occurs at the synaptic cleft. Too much acetylcholine can lead to paralysis
Where is acetycholine broken down into acetate and choline?
Acetycholine is broken down into acetate and choline in the synaptic cleft.
Acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft is broken down by?
choline esterase enzyme and there is 2 types of choline esterase 1 .truecholine esterase 2. pseudo choline esterase
How is acetylcholine (ACh) removed from the synaptic cleft?
Acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase
What is the role of acetylcholinesterase to acetylcholine?
The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) essentially works against acetylcholine (ACh). AChE will break up the ACh into its two main groups, acetate and choline so that it is not able to do its job. (In the case of certain diseases, like Alzheimer's, AChE can result in negative effects, and drugs are given to prevent the action of AChE.)
How is the neurotransmitter acetylcholine inactivated at the parasympathetic terminal receptor site?
Acetylcholine is primarily inactivated at the parasympathetic terminal receptor site by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase breaks down acetylcholine into choline and acetate, which are then taken back up by the presynaptic terminal for further use in neurotransmitter synthesis. This inactivation process allows for the rapid termination of acetylcholine signaling and helps maintain proper neurotransmitter balance in the synapse.
What are the benefits of choline?
Choline is a biological molecule that is known to serve a wide variety of purposes. Its major purpose, however, is as part of acetylcholine, one of the body's major neurotransmitters.
Where does the name choline stem from?
Choline is a water-soluble nutrient usually part of the B complex vitamin. It is part of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which is important in memory. Vegetarians or vegans or alcoholics tend to have low choline amounts in the body. Choline is derived from the Greek to mean "gall" or bile.
What is the function of the acetylcholine sacs?
a small organic molecule liberated at nerve endings as a neurotransmitter. It is particularly important in the stimulation of muscle tissue. The transmission of an impulse to the end of the nerve causes it to release neurotransmitter molecules onto the surface of the next cell, stimulating it. After such release, the acetylcholine is quickly broken into acetate and choline, which pass back to the first cell to be recycled into acetylcholine again. The poison curareacts by blocking the transmission of acetylcholine. Some nerve gases operate by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine causing continual stimulation of the receptor cells, which leads to intense spasms of the muscles, including the heart. Acetylcholine is often abbreviated as Ach.
What is an antiacetylcholinesterase?
It is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of acetylcholine and of some other choline esters that function as neurotransmitters.
Is acetylcholine a depressant or a stimulant?
Both and neither. ACH is a neurotransmitter that activates a multitude of different receptors. Some of the most important are for skeletal muscles and heart rate. It cannot be taken exogenously (eaten or injected) because it will be broken down into acetate and choline long before it gets to the part of the body where it works as a ligand.
What are the names of some common neurotransmitters?
Acetylcholine or aka ACH is the neurotransmitter that is released from the axon terminal to through the neuromuscular junction across the synaptic cleft which binds to the ACH receptors on the end motor plate of the Sarcolema.
