Abstract excerpt

Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT,E.C.2.3.1.6) catalyzes the synthesis of acetylcholine, and is considered to be a phenotypic marker specific for cholinergic neurons. In situ hybridization using a nonradioactive cRNA probe identified a large number of cell bodies expressing ChAT mRNA in the cortice...
