Acetylcholine is used by bacteria, fungi, and a variety of other animals. Many of the uses of acetylcholine rely on its action on ion channels via GPCRs like membrane proteins. </p><p>The two major types of acetylcholine receptors, muscarinic and nicotinic receptors, have convergently evolved to be responsive to acetylcholine. This means that rather than having evolved from a common homolog, these receptors evolved from separate receptor families. It is estimated that the <a href="/wiki/Nicotinic_acetylcholine_receptor" title="Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor">nicotinic receptor family</a> dates back longer than 2.5 billion years.<sup id="cite_ref-pmid20001397_29-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pmid20001397-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Likewise, muscarinic receptors are thought to have diverged from other GPCRs at least 0.5 billion years ago.

The diversity of the receptor types enables acetylcholine to create varying responses depending on which receptor types are activated, and allow for acetylcholine to dynamically regulate physiological processes.
