gene: cha-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables choline O-acetyltransferase activity. Involved in acetylcholine biosynthetic process. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; excitatory synapse; and neuronal cell body. Expressed in IL2 neuron. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and congenital myasthenic syndrome 6. Is an ortholog of human CHAT (choline O-acetyltransferase).
