Neurochemical Basis of Cholinergic Transmission

Acetylcholine, an ester of choline and acetic acid, is synthesized in cholinergic neurons according to the following scheme [Pg.200]

Hemicholinium blocks the transport of choline into synaptosomes, whereas botulinum toxin blocks the calcium-mediated release of acetylcholine. The released acetylcholine is hydrolyzed rapidly by acetylcholinesterase to choline and acetate. [Pg.200]
