Abstract excerpt
High susceptibility of cholinergic neurons to neurotoxic signals may result from their utilization of acetyl-CoA for both energy production and acetylcholine synthesis. SN56 cholinergic cells were transfected stably with cDNA for choline acetyltransferase. Transfected cells (SN56ChAT2) expressed choline acetyltransferase activity and acetylcholine content, 17 times and 2 times higher, respectively, than did...
