Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1103
Gene name Choline O-acetyltransferase
Gene symbol CHAT
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CHOACTASECMS1ACMS1A2CMS6
Chromosome 10
Chromosome location 10q11.23
Summary This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This gene product is a characteristic feature of cholinergic neurons, and changes in these neurons may explain some of the symptoms of Alzheimer`s disease.
