| Application: | Choline chloride has been used: • as a component of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) buffer and for choline uptake in cultured human neuroblastoma (SK-N-SH) cells • for choline standard curve generation for quantifying phospholipase D (PLD) activity • as a component of slice solution for the dissection of entorhinal-hippocampal brain slices |
| General description: | Choline acetyltransferase substrate |
| General description: | Choline chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt and associates with hydrogen bond donors (HBD). It is essential for the vital physiological functions and is used as a nutritional additive. Choline is a source of methyl groups for methyl-transfer reactions. |
