About Chat

Summary

Enables choline O-acetyltransferase activity and choline binding activity. Involved in several processes, including acetylcholine biosynthetic process; antral ovarian follicle growth; and response to ethanol. Located in neuron projection. Biomarker of Alzheimer's disease and asthma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and congenital myasthenic syndrome 6. Orthologous to human CHAT (choline O-acetyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
