products description :
Principle of the Assay: Acetylcholinesterase hydrolysis acetylcholine (Ach) to produce choline and acetic acid. Then cholinereacts with sulfydryl substrate to form TNB (Sym-Trinitrobenzene), a yellow compound which can be measured at412 nm. The concentration of TNB isproportional to the A-CHE activity present.

ncbi summary :
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]
uniprot summary :
CHAT: an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible synthesis of acetylcholine (ACh) from acetyl CoA and choline at cholinergic synapses. Four alternative splice variants have been described. Protein type: Acetyltransferase; EC 2.3.1.6; Lipid Metabolism - glycerophospholipid. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 10q11.2. Cellular Component: cytoplasm; cytosol; nucleus. Molecular Function: choline O-acetyltransferase activity. Biological Process: neurotransmitter secretion; phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process. Disease: Myasthenic Syndrome, Congenital, Associated With Episodic Apnea
