Metabolite Identification
Common NameAcetylcholine
DescriptionAcetylcholine, also known as ACh or choline acetate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyl cholines. These are acylated derivatives of choline. Choline or 2-Hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium is a quaternary ammonium salt with the chemical formula (CH3)3N+(CH2)2OH. Acetylcholine is a drug which is used to obtain miosis of the iris in seconds after delivery of the lens in cataract surgery, in penetrating keratoplasty, iridectomy and other anterior segment surgery where rapid miosis may be required. In cattle, acetylcholine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the phospholipid biosynthesis pathway. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Acetylcholine.
