Difference between Insecticide and Sarin

Insecticide vs. Sarin

Insecticides are substances used to kill insects. Sarin, or NATO designation GB (G-series, 'B'), is a highly toxic synthetic organophosphorus compound.

Similarities between Insecticide and Sarin

Insecticide and Sarin have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acetylcholine, Acetylcholinesterase, Carbamate, Carbaryl, Chemical warfare, Cholinesterase, Malathion, Soman, Tabun (nerve agent), VX (nerve agent).

Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals, including humans, as a neurotransmitter—a chemical message released by nerve cells to send signals to other cells.

Acetylcholinesterase

Acetylcholinesterase, encoded by HGNC gene ACHE; EC 3.1.1.7) is the primary cholinesterase in the body. It is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of acetylcholine and of some other choline esters that function as neurotransmitters. AChE is found at mainly neuromuscular junctions and in chemical synapses of the cholinergic type, where its activity serves to terminate synaptic transmission. It belongs to carboxylesterase family of enzymes. It is the primary target of inhibition by organophosphorus compounds such as nerve agents and pesticides.

Carbamate

A carbamate is an organic compound derived from carbamic acid (NH2COOH).

Carbaryl

Carbaryl (1-naphthyl methylcarbamate) is a chemical in the carbamate family used chiefly as an insecticide.

Chemical warfare

Chemical warfare (CW) involves using the toxic properties of chemical substances as weapons.

Cholinesterase

In biochemistry, a cholinesterase or choline esterase is an esterase that lyses choline-based esters, several of which serve as neurotransmitters.
