The development of cholinergic cells in the rat retina has been examined with immunocytochemistry by using antisera against choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). ChATimmunoreactive (IR) cells were first detected at embryonic day 17 (E17) in the transitional zone between the neuroblastic layer (NBL) and

Acetylcholine has important epigenetic roles in the developing retina. In this study, cells that expressed choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), the enzyme that synthesizes acetylcholine, were investigated in embryonic, postnatal, and adult turtle retinas by using immunofluorescence histochemistry. ChAT
Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) is a functional and specific marker gene for neurons such as primary motor neurons that synthesize and release acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter. In adult mammals, transection of the peripheral nerve results in a loss of immunoreactivity for ChAT in the injured mot
Previous studies have implicated human alpha-2-macroglobulin (alpha2M) as a potential regulator of neuronal development and function. Rat alpha-1-macroglobulin (alpha1M) and acute-phase alpha-2-macroglobulin (alpha2M) are murine homologues of human alpha2M. In this report, we tested the effect of in
