Human Gene Set: GOBP_SYNAPTIC_TRANSMISSION_CHOLINERGIC

For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOBP_SYNAPTIC_TRANSMISSION_CHOLINERGIC

Standard name GOBP_SYNAPTIC_TRANSMISSION_CHOLINERGIC
Systematic name M11082
Brief description The vesicular release of acetylcholine from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of dopamine receptors at the postsynapse of a target cell (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) and the effects of this activation on the postsynaptic membrane potential and ionic composition of the postsynaptic cytosol. This process encompasses both spontaneous and evoked release of neurotransmitter and all parts of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Evoked transmission starts with the arrival of an action potential at the presynapse. [GOC:dos, Wikipedia:Cholinergic]
