Description

Application

Acetylcholine is an endogenous neurotransmitter at cholinergic synapses that amplifies action potential of the sarcolemma thereby inducing muscle contractions. Acetylcholine iodide is used as an acetylcholine receptor agonist to identify, characterize and differentiate among types of cholinergic receptors. Acetylcholine iodide is used as a substrate to identify and characterize natural and mutated acetylcholinesterase(s).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Endogenous neurotransmitter at cholinergic synapses; amplifies action potential of the sarcolemma thereby inducing muscle contractions.
