[C.elegansII] p1152 : 99% reduced choline acetyltransferase, slow-growing, uncoordinated (coiler), Ric (resistant to aldicarb, trichlorfon); slow pumping. ES3. OA>10: m324 (lethal, probable null),b401ts (ME2), p1154, p1156 (anomalous allele, fails to complement unc-17), cn101,n2411 etc. Defecation cycle variable in length, often extremely long in all alleles tested. unc-17 alleles e113, e876 fail to complement cha-1. Cloned : encodes choline acetyltransferase, 37% identical to pig enzyme, 28% to Drosophila enzyme. Antibody staining cytosolic, in motor neurons.Shares 5' UTR exon with unc-17.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptioncha-1 is part of a gene complex, in which it shares a common promoter and first (noncoding) exon with unc-17 (and is thus coexpressed with unc-17), but in which the two genes encode mutationally separable functions; cha-1 encodes a choline acetyltransferase that synthesizes acetylcholine, is expressed in neurons, and is required for viability, normal growth, locomotion, and sensitivity to acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00000675

Automated_descriptionEnables 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).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
