A cholinergic modulator.
Soluble proteins obtained from presynaptic cholinergic vesicles have been tested regarding their effects to modify postsynaptic spike generation. The results suggest that these proteins (or derivatives, incl. glycopeptides) may act as modulators in increasing the effectiveness and duration of postsynaptic spike generation. They may partake in generation of homosynaptic (posttetanic) potentiation.
