  • Title: Noncorrelation of choline kinase or ATP citrate lyase with cholinergic activity in rat brain.
    Author: Harvey SA, Leong SF, Clark JB.
    Journal: J Neurochem; 1982 Nov; 39(5):1481-4. PubMed ID: 6288877.
    Abstract:
    The activity of choline acetyltransferase was used as an index of cholinergic structures in regions of rat brain. The activities of ATP citrate lyase and choline kinase correlated poorly with cholinergic activity in whole tissue fractions, contrasting with the good correlation between acetylcholinesterase and choline acetyltransferase. Choline acetyltransferase was preferentially localised in synaptosomes prepared from regions of high (striatum) or intermediate (cortex, medulla oblongata/pons) cholinergic activity. In general, this was not true for either choline kinase or ATP citrate lyase.
