Acetylcholine synthesis

Acetylcholine is an important neurotransmitter. It can be rapidly released in the synaptic cleft upon activation of the neuron. In the synaptic cleft the compound is degraded rapidly into choline and acetate, this is essential for proper neuronal functioning. Choline and Acetate are taken up into the cytosol and recycled for the next activation.

乙酰胆碱作为一种至关重要的神经递质，在神经元激活的瞬间能够迅速从突触间隙中释放。在突触间隙中，该化合物迅速降解为胆碱和乙酸，这对于神经元的正常功能至关重要。胆碱和乙酸随后被摄取进入细胞质，并循环利用以备下一次神经元激活之需。
