Choline O-acetyltransferase (CHAT) serves as the rate-limiting enzyme in acetylcholine biosynthesis, catalyzing the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to choline. As a definitive marker for cholinergic neurons, CHAT plays a central role in neuroscience research spanning neurodegenerative disease, synaptic function, and neural circuit mapping. Reliable detection of this enzyme is essential for researchers investigating cholinergic signaling pathways and their dysfunction in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 8E7, offers the consistency and reproducibility that demanding neuroscience applications require. Produced using recombinant technology with a sequence-defined rabbit IgG format, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. The defined sequence ensures that your experimental conditions remain transferable across projects and publications.
Validation studies demonstrate robust performance across multiple detection platforms. Western blot analysis of mouse brain tissue lysate reveals a clean band at the predicted 70 kDa molecular weight, confirming specific target recognition at dilutions of 1:500. The antibody performs effectively in immunohistochemistry, as shown in paraffin-embedded human lung cancer tissue sections, and delivers clear immunofluorescence staining in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, a widely used model for cholinergic neuron research. Flow cytometry validation in SH-SY5Y cells further demonstrates utility for quantitative single-cell analysis, with clear separation from isotype control.
With cross-species reactivity for human and mouse samples and compatibility spanning ELISA, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry, this antibody provides the experimental flexibility needed for comprehensive cholinergic system investigations.
