Acetylcholinesterase. Acetylcholine Hydrolase . Acetylthiocholinesterase . Hydrolase, Acetylcholine . An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ACETYLCHOLINE to CHOLINE and acetate. In the CNS, this enzyme plays a role in the function of peripheral neuromuscular junctions. EC 3.1.1.7. . 0.56

Effects, Muscarinic . Effects, Nicotinic . Acetylcholine Agents . Cholinomimetics . Muscarinic Agents . Nicotinic Agents . Any drug used for its actions on cholinergic systems. Included here are agonists and antagonists, drugs that affect the life cycle of ACETYLCHOLINE, and drugs that affect the survival of cholinergic neurons. The term cholinergic agents is sometimes still used in the narrower sense of MUSCARINIC AGONISTS, although most modern texts discourage that usage. . 0.54
Receptors, Cholinergic. ACh Receptors . Receptors, ACh . Sites, Cholinoceptive . Acetylcholine Receptors . Cholinergic Receptors . Cholinoceptive Sites . Cholinoceptors . Receptors, Acetylcholine . Cell surface proteins that bind acetylcholine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Cholinergic receptors are divided into two major classes, muscarinic and nicotinic, based originally on their affinity for nicotine and muscarine. Each group is further subdivided based on pharmacology, location, mode of action, and/or molecular biology. . 0.52
