Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the structural features of vesicular acetylcholine
transporter (VAChT) deduced from its primary sequence, which give insight into its …

A cholinergic locus has recently been identified consisting of a unique mammalian genomic
arrangement containing the genes for choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and a putative …

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) is synthesized by the enzyme choline
acetyltransferase (ChAT) and then transported into synaptic vesicles by the vesicular …

Messenger RNAs and the cognate gene (s) encoding choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and
the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) have been cloned from mammals and …

Expression of the acetylcholine biosynthetic enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), the
vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT), and the high-affinity plasma membrane choline …

THE organization of the mouse choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) gene has been previously
analyzed. Here we show that the first intron of the mouse ChAT gene contains an …

Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) is a specific phenotypic marker of cholinergic neurons.
Previous reports showed that different upstream regions of the ChAT gene are necessary for …

The gene encoding the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) has recently been
localized within the first intron of the gene encoding choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and is …

Classical neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine (ACh) require transport into synaptic
vesicles for regulated exocytotic release. The Caenorhabditis elegans gene unc-17 encodes …

The predicted C-terminal dodecapeptide of the human vesicular acetylcholine transporter
(VAChT), deduced from the unique open reading frame of the recently cloned human …
