Description
(extracted from source data)
DESCPRITION A neurotransmitter found at neuromuscular junctions, autonomic ganglia, parasympathetic effector junctions, a subset of sympathetic effector junctions, and at many sites in the central nervous system.
DESCRIPTION The position of the tritiated hydrogen atom is not specified in the available literature therefore is not shown in the structure here. (GtoPdb)
DESCRIPTION Acetylcholine is an organic molecule that acts as a neurotransmitter in many organisms, including humans. (BOC Sciences Bioactive Compounds)
DESCRIPTION Acetylcholine iodide is a neurotransmitter found at neuromuscular junctions, autonomic ganglia, parasympathetic effector junctions, a subset of sympathetic effector junctions, and at many sites in the central nervous system. (BOC Sciences Bioactive Compounds)
