It binds to and stimulates cholinergic receptors at neuromuscular junction (1 mg/kg causes suppression of response to neuromuscular stimulation within 60 seconds). Butyrylcholinesterase, which is synthesized in liver and is not present at the NMJ, rapidly hydrolizes succinylcholine to succinylmonocholine and choline. Note that only 10% […]
