Abstract excerpt
The memory loss in Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been linked to cholinergic hypoactivity. Mutations in presenilin-1 (PS-1) may regulate cholinergic signaling, although their precise roles in cholinergic neurotransmission in AD are unsettled. Neuronal uptake of choline via the high affinity choline transporter (CHT1) is essential for cholinergic neurotransmission. CHT1 is a Na+-dependent, hemicholinium-3...
