  • Scientific Background This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This gene product is a characteristic feature of cholinergic neurons, and changes in these neurons may explain some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome associated with episodic apnea. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and some of these variants have been shown to encode more than one isoform. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

  • Immunofluorescent staining of rat basal forebrain cholinergic neurons using rabbit anti-ChAT primary and Cy3 secondary antibodies.

  • Immunohistochemical detection of cholinergic neurons in formalin-fixed floated cryostat sections from the basal forebrain of the rat. Choline acetyltransferase immunoreactivity was detected with the rabbit polyclonal ChAT antiserum (R-043-100; 1:20,000), using the biotinylated secondary antibody-ABC method and nickel-diaminobenzidine chromogen.
