Donepezil and galantamine inhibit enzymes that degrade this compound.
Donepezil and galantamine inhibit enzymes that degrade this compound. A single molecule of it induces the miniature end plate potential. Dale's principle originally contrasted adrenergic cells with cells that produce this compound, whose receptors also bind nicotine. Organophosphates like sarin prevent the hydrolysis of this compound by inhibiting its namesake (*) esterase. This compound activates sodium-potassium pumps, causing hyperpolarization, in the sliding filament model. Synthesis of this compound at the presynaptic cleft is slow in Alzheimer's patients, and it is targeted by botulinum toxin, or Botox. For 10 points, name this neurotransmitter that stimulates muscle contractions, abbreviated ACh.
