    Product Description

    Acetylthiocholine is a substrate for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and an agonist of α4β2 subunit-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs).1,2 It binds to α4β2 subunit-containing nAChRs in SH-EP1 cells (IC50 = 7.1 µM for the human receptor) and induces rubidium efflux in an agonist-induced rubidium efflux assay (EC50 = 100 µM).2 Acetylthiocholine has been used as part of a thiocholine sensor for the detection of pesticides in complex sample types, such as soil, groundwater, and spinach.1
