Cholinergic Flashcards
Choline transporter into neuron terminal
Na-Dependent membrane choline receptor (CHT)
Potent CHT inhibitor
hemicholiniums
Enzyme that synthesizes ACh from acetyl CoA and choline
choline acetyltransferase (ChAT)
ACh transport vesicle
Vesicle-associated transporter (VAT)
Inhibitor of VAT
vesamicol
What can be stored inside VATs
ACh, peptides, ATP, proteoglycan
v-SNARE proteins on vesicles
synaptobrevin
t-SNARE proteins on neuronal cell membrane
syntaxin, SNAP-25
ACh release is dependent on
Calcium
ACh release into synaptic cleft inhibited by
Botulinum toxin
Primary terminator of ACh
Acetylcholinesterase
Muscarinic receptor signaling type
G-protein coupled
Nicotinic receptor signaling type
Na channels (5 subunits: 2a, B, y, d)
M1, M3 G protein
Gq
M2 G protein
Gi
M3 activation of papillary sphincter
Contraction - miosis, open Canal of Schlemm (decrease intraocular pressure)
M3 activation of ciliary muscle
Contraction - accommodation for near vision
M2 activation of SA/AV node
Decreased HR, decreased velocity, decreased ventricular contraction
M3 activation of bronchioles
Contraction - bronchospasm
M3 activation of glands
Increased secretions
M3 activation of stomach
motility, cramps
M3 activation of intestines
contraction - diarrhea, involuntary defecation
M3 activation of bladder
detrusor contraction, sphincter relaxation, voiding, incontinence
M3 activation of blood vessel endothelium
dilation
