Chaperone-Mediated Regulation of Choline Acetyltransferase Protein Stability and Activity by HSC/HSP70, HSP90, and p97/VCP [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) synthesizes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in cholinergic neurons, and mutations of this enzyme are linked to the neuromuscular disorder congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS).

Elusive physiological role of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP): generation of choline for sperm motility via auto-and paracrine cholinergic signaling

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) exists as two splice variants, secreted PAP and transmembrane PAP, the latter of which is implicated in antinociceptive signaling in dorsal root ganglia.

Effects of Radix Polygalae on Cognitive Decline and Depression in Estradiol Depletion Mouse Model of Menopause

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology, 2021
Postmenopausal syndrome refers to symptoms caused by the gradual decrease in female hormones after mid-40 years. As a target organ of estrogen, decrease in estrogen causes various changes in brain function such as a decrease in choline acetyltransferase ...

On the Mechanism of Action of Choline Acetyltransferase [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1974
The substrate specificity of choline acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.6) isolated from squid ganglia was investigated. The enzyme catalyzed the acetylation of choline and aminocholine but not of homocholine. In D 2 O solution there was considerable slowing of the transacetylation reaction. Photo-oxidation in the presence

CXCL12 Regulates the Cholinergic Locus and CHT1 Through Akt Signaling Pathway

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2016
Background: CXCL12 is pivotal for cholinergic neurons, and it induces the expressions of several genes that are essential for synthesis and storage of acetylcholine(ACh), specifically choline acetyltransferase, vesicular ACh transporter (VAChT), and ...

Effects of Goldblatt hypertension on rats’ hippocampal cholinergic system

open access: yesTranslational Neuroscience, 2022
The classical renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has an important role in the cardiovascular system and water homeostasis in the body. Recently, the existence of RAS with all of its components has been shown in the mammalian brain.

Lipid-Mediated In Vivo Gene Transfer Replaces the Loss of Choline Acetyltransferase Activity after Unilateral Fimbria-Fornix Aspiration

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2001
In Alzheimer's disease cholinergic neurons degenerate, resulting in loss of hippocampal acetylcholine. The fimbria-fornix aspiration is a well-known animal model mimicking hippocampal cholinergic deficiency.
