Design of primers and optimization of PCR conditions for the detection of alternatively spliced isoforms of mouse ChAT mRNA [PDF]
Acetylcholine plays an important role as a neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Its biosynthesis is catalyzed by choline acetyltransferase (ChAT).

Choline acetyltransferase-containing neurons in the human parietal neocortex
A number of immunocytochemical studies have indicated the presence of cholinergic neurons in the cerebral cortex of various species of mammals. Whether such cholinergic neurons in the human cerebral cortex are exclusively of subcortical origin is still ...

ACETYLCHOLINE AND ITS SYNTHESIZING ENZYME CHOLINE ACETYLTRANSPHERASE IN THE ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM [PDF]
The enteric nervous system is the largest and most complex division of the peripheral nervous system. Located in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract, it is a regulatory and coordination unit of the nervous system.

The choline acetyltransferase of human placenta [PDF]
1. Various methods for the extraction of choline acetyltransferase (acetyl-CoA-choline O-acetyltransferase, EC 2.3.1.6) from immature human placenta (18-28 weeks of gestation) are described. 2. The crude enzyme was found to be stable at -18 degrees and +4 degrees under a variety of conditions. 3.

The Brain of the African Wild Dog. VI. The Motor System. [PDF]
Neurofilament H‐immunostained coronal section through the rostral portion of the hypoglossal nucleus of the African wild dog brain. Note the presence of a distinct fascicle of protoplasmic commissural dendrites between the nuclei. This feature may be related to complex control of the tongue and vocalizations in this socially complex species.
