By transferring an acetyl group from acetyl CoA to choline, CHAT generates acetylcholine, which is essential for cholinergic neurotransmission in both central and peripheral nervous systems. CHAT is expressed in cholinergic neurons and is considered a reliable marker for identifying these cells.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAT antibody is widely used in neuroscience and neurodegenerative disease research. By detecting CHAT, researchers can map cholinergic neuronal populations, study synaptic transmission, and monitor changes in acetylcholine production. Alterations in CHAT activity are linked to disorders including Alzheimer disease, Huntington disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, where cholinergic dysfunction contributes to pathology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In western blot assays, CHAT antibody detects protein bands of expected size in brain and spinal cord extracts. Immunohistochemistry highlights cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain, brainstem, and motor nuclei. Immunofluorescence provides high resolution visualization of CHAT positive axons and synapses, enabling detailed mapping of cholinergic circuitry. ELISA applications support quantitative measurement of CHAT in research samples.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAT has been implicated in development and plasticity. During embryogenesis, CHAT expression marks differentiation of cholinergic neurons and is used as a tool to study nervous system maturation. In adult brains, changes in CHAT expression reflect synaptic remodeling and disease related degeneration. By applying CHAT antibody, scientists can study the mechanisms underlying acetylcholine regulation and identify therapeutic strategies for restoring cholinergic signaling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond neuroscience, CHAT is studied in muscle physiology and autonomic function. It influences neuromuscular transmission and parasympathetic activity, linking it to movement control and visceral regulation. These diverse roles emphasize the value of CHAT antibody across multiple research disciplines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAT antibody from\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e map target signal in tissue context and compare regions\/phenotypes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monoclonal antibodies provide a defined epitope recognition profile that can support consistent comparisons across experiments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=CHAT - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=CHAT - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=CHAT - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/CHAT - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=CHAT+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, 0.4-0.5mg\/ml BSA \/ 100 ul","offer_id":53047291183469,"sku":"FY12530","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_32fb8262-4115-4be7-a835-3b69f8583637.jpg?v=1772019304","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/chat-antibody-choline-acetyltransferase-bha17135433","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
