Description: Choline acetyltransferase (commonly abbreviated as ChAT or CAT) is a transferase enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. In humans, the choline acetyltransferase enzyme is encoded by the CHAT gene. 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.
Immunogen: Recombinant human protein (amino acids T25-K731) was used as the immunogen for the ChAT antibody.
Storage: After reconstitution, the ChAT antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
