Final Part 1 Flashcards
What is the principle cholinomimetic?
Acetylcholine
What enzyme creates acetyl choline by adding an acetyl group onto choline from Acetyl CoA?
Choline acetyltransferase
What is the limiting factor for choline acetyltransferase?
Choline
What enzyme inactivates ACh?
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE)
What amino acid must be attached to AChE to be activated?
Serine and Histidine
What process inactivates ACh?
Transesterification
What binds to AChE?
Serine and Histidine
