- choline O-acetyltransferase
- cho·line O-ac·e·tyl·trans·fer·ase (koґlēn as″ə-tēl-transґfər-ās) [EC 2.3.1.6] an enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the synthesis of acetylcholine, transferring the acetyl moiety from acetyl coenzyme A to choline. The enzyme occurs in synaptosomes of the autonomic nervous system and skeletal muscle, and in some regions of the central nervous system. Called also choline acetyltransferase and choline acetylase.
