Anti-Choline Transporter Antibody

Descrição detalhada : The protein named Choline Transporter or Hemicholinium-3-sensitive choline transporter (CHT), and encoded by the gene SLC5A7/CHT1, is the high affinity choline transporter in neurons. Choline is the rate limiting step in acetylcholine synthesis an important neurotransmitter. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter of the central and peripheral nervous system that regulates a variety of autonomic, cognitive, and motor functions. The choline transporter is localized to the cell membrane and is expressed in cholinergic neurons particularly in the putamen, spinal cord and medulla. Defects in the choline transporter may be associated with a syndrome named distal spinal muscular atrophy with vocal cord paralysis. The choline transporter protein is a Na+ and Cl- dependent transporter that can be inhibited by nanomolar concentrations of the chemical compound hemicholinium 3, a compound often used to deplete acetylcholine stores.
