General description

Choline is an essential nutrient, commonly grouped with the B complex vitamins, that plays key roles in many biological processes. Choline is a precursor for the synthesis of acetylcholine, a critical neurotransmitter in both the peripheral and central nervous systems.

Application

Choline/Acetylcholine Quantification Kit has been used to quantify the amounts of choline and acetylcholine in samples.

Suitability

Suitable for use with cell and tissue culture supernatants as well as serum, plasma, urine, and other biological fluids.

Principle

In this assay, choline concentration is determined by a coupled enzyme reaction, which results in a colorimetric (570 nm)/fluorometric (λex = 535/λem = 587 nm) product, proportional to the choline present. Acetylcholine levels can be determined by adding acetylcholinesterase to the reaction, which hydrolyzes acetylcholine to choline and acetate.
