Anti-Choline Acetyltransferase (ChAT)

Murine choline-O-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.6) is a 71.721 kD protein (640aa) expressed in cholinergic neurons of both the PNS and CNS. In the CNS, ChAT is expressed in motor neurons and pre-ganglionic autonomic neurons of the spinal cord, a subset of neurons in the neostriatum, and in the basal forebrain. In the PNS, ChAT is expressed in a small subpopulation of sympathetic neurons and in all parasympathetic neurons. ChAT is the enzyme responsible for synthesis of acetylcholine from acetyl-coenzyme A and choline. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry.
