| General description: | Choline acetyltransferase substrate |
| General description: | Choline is a constituent of sphingomyelin and lecithin. It is a precursor of acetylcholine. Choline plays a vital role in methyl group metabolism, carcinogenesis and lipid transport. Choline deficiency is associated with fatty liver. It maintains cell structural integrity and cell signalling. Choline is implicated in the synthesis of phospholipids. It acts as a potent biomarker for ischemic heart disease. |
