Biological context of Chat

  • A second QTL was detected on chromosome 14 (peak LOD = 6.9), which was located more proximally and included the Chat locus [20].
  • Two of the genes containing variable length CAG repeats, seven in absentia homologue 1b (Sinh1b), and choline acetyl transferase (Chat), which had not previously been mapped in the mouse genome, were mapped by linkage analysis in an interspecific backcross [21].
  • Sinh1b maps very distally on the X chromosome, and Chat maps to chromosome 14 [21].
  • This suggests that an alteration in ChAT ir cell migration which leads to a redistribution of cholinergic neurons in subcortical forebrain regions occurs in HR mice [22].
  • These results demonstrate that neurotrophins stimulate the synthesis of ChAT and TH of the neural stem cells prior to neuronal differentiation, and suggest that neurotrophins may play roles in the commitment to neuronal cells and choice of specific neurotransmitter phenotypes in early stages of neurogenesis [23].
