Acetylcholine is an organic compound that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals as a neurotransmitter. Its name is derived from its chemical structure: it is an ester of acetic acid
Acetylcholinesterase
…acetylhydrolase, is the primary type of cholinesterase in the body, coded for in the human by the gene ACHE. It is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of acetylcholine and some other choline esters that function as neurotransmitters: It is found at mainly neuromuscular junctions and in chemical synapses of the cholinergic…
