Video from Areo Saffarzadeh on YouTube

Describe the synthesis (choline acetyltransferase), vesicular storage, release and hydrolysis (acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase) of acetylcholine.

Why this video

Explains the presynaptic lifecycle of acetylcholine, walking through its synthesis, storage, exocytotic release, and breakdown by acetylcholinesterase at the synapse.

Part of this line

Covers part of this objective. It leaves out: Does not teach butyrylcholinesterase (pseudocholinesterase) or compare its distribution and substrate specificity to acetylcholinesterase.

Heads up

Extends beyond the objective into the mechanism of botulinum toxin on vesicle release.
