Acetylcholine chloride is a neurotransmitter derivative used primarily in neuroscience research, pharmacological studies, and as a reference standard for cholinergic receptor assays. It mimics the action of acetylcholine, the key neurotransmitter in the parasympathetic nervous system, making it essential for studying nerve signal transmission, muscle contraction, and cognitive function. This chemical has a CAS number of 60-31-1, with the molecular formula (CH3)3N+CH2CH2OCOCH3Cl- and a molecular weight of 181.66 g/mol. It must be stored between 2 to 8°C and carries a signal word of "Warning" due to its potential hazards. Molekula supplies Acetylcholine chloride from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
