ACETYLCHOLINE - How It Works

To make acetylcholine, the brain needs two elements: an acetyl group and a choline molecule.

An acetyl group is a type of simple molecular building block of organic chemistry with a chemical formula of C2H30. The acetyl group is usually present in the brain as Acetyl-CoA. Choline and the acetyl group are grouped together by the enzyme Choline Acetyltransferase (ChAT). They are both stored in neurons, released, and then broken down by another enzyme called acetylcholinesterase (AchE). To increase levels of acetylcholine, we use the following approach:

• Create more acetyl-CoA molecules to provide acetyl groups to ChAT for acetylcholine production.
• Provide more choline in choline producing (cholinergic) neurons for use by ChAT.
• Increase or upregulate the activity of ChAT.
• Decrease the activity of AchE.
