6 Questions
Which enzyme is responsible for synthesizing acetylcholine in the cytoplasm?
Choline acetyltransferase
What is the function of acetylcholinesterase?
To split acetylcholine into choline and acetate
What happens when acetylcholine is released by exocytosis?
It requires VAMPs and SNAPs interaction
What is the role of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) in the release of acetylcholine?
It synthesizes acetylcholine from choline and acetyl-CoA
Which transporter is responsible for packaging acetylcholine into vesicles for release?
Vesicle-associated choline transporter (VAchT)
What is the function of acetylcholinesterase (AchE) in the synaptic cleft?
It breaks down acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft
