Encyclopedia > Choline acetyltransferase

Choline acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.6 (http://www.expasy.org/cgi-bin/nicezyme.pl?2.3.1.6)) is an enzyme which is synthesized within the body of a neuron. It is then transferred to the nerve terminal via axoplasmic flow. It joins Acetyl CoA to choline, resulting in the formation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
