Gene Information

chicken ... Chat(395314)
rat ... Chat(290567)

Specificity

Will stain cholinergic neurons in rat central and peripheral nervous systems.

Immunogen

A 22 amino acid synthetic peptide from porcine ChAT, coupled to KLH. The peptide sequence is GLFSSYRLPGHTQDTLVAQKSS. Due to sequence similarity, the antibody is expected to react with pig, rat, mouse and human ChAT.

Application

Detect Choline Acetyltransferase using this Anti-Choline Acetyltransferase Antibody validated for use in IH.
Immunohistochemistry: 1:2,000-1:4,000 in rat basal forebrain.

Western blot

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Neurotrophins influence the epigenetic shaping of the vertebrate nervous system by regulating neuronal numbers during development and synaptic plasticity. Here we attempt to determine whether these growth factors can also regulate neurotransmitter plasticity. As a model system we used the
