Anti-choline acetaattransferase/CHAT Antibody Picoband® fluoro594 Vervoeging

Choline acetyltransferase (commonly abbreviated asChAT, but sometimesCAT) is atransferaseenzymeresponsible for the synthesis of theneurotransmitteracetylcholine. In humans, the choline acetyltransferase enzyme is encoded by theCHATgene. 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.
