Susceptibility to Acetylcholinesterase

[edit]

Quote from the article: "It is broken down at a relatively slow rate within the body, due to its resistance to acetylcholinesterases. Methacholine has a β-methyl group which provides selectivity towards M-type receptors as compared to N-type receptors. The quarternary ammonium group is essential for activity. The ester however makes it susceptible to the enzyme acetylcholine esterase.[2]" These statements are seemingly contradictory. Is it susceptible to AchE? If so, to what degree?

Reference 2 doesn't link to anything, or exist. 129.78.56.166 (talk) 11:32, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the link. Thanks for catching the problem and reporting it here. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:15, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
