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.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressively fatal, incurable, neurodegenerative disorder. In this study, we investigated whether olfactory ensheathing cells (OEC) transplantation could provide protection to motor neurons and enable remyelination in mutant SOD1(G93A) transgenic rats with ALS. Seventy-two rats

Recent experiments suggest that brainstem GABAergic neurons may control rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep. However, understanding their pharmacology/physiology has been hindered by difficulty in identification. Here we report that mice expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) under the control of the GAD67 promoter
