Choline Acetyltransferase (ChAT) – a useful Immunohistochemical marker for morphological studies of neurons

The majority of acetylcholine is synthesized locally at nerve terminals where ChAT catalyzes the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl coenzyme A to choline, a process that takes place in a single step.
