Definition (ChEBI)

ChEBI: Acetylcholine is actylcholine is an ester of acetic acid and choline, which acts as a neurotransmitter. It has a role as a vasodilator agent, a muscarinic agonist, a hormone, a human metabolite, a mouse metabolite and a neurotransmitter. It is an acetate ester and an acylcholine. Actylcholine is an ester of acetic acid and choline, which acts as a neurotransmitter.
