Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter in the cholinergic neurons. What is the precursor that acetylcholine is derived from?
The conversion of choline by CAT (choline acetyltransferase) is responsible for conveing choline to acetylcholine. Likewise, the conversion of acetylcholine back to choline is by ACH-ase (acetylcholine esterase). CAT ACh-ase Choline ----> Acetylcholine ----------> Choline
Dicholine
Tyrosine
Cholic acid
Choline
