Abstract
To identify choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) transcript(s) in human fo etal brain we used the reverse polymerase chain reaction including dif ferent couples of oligonucleotide primers. The analysis indicated the presence of a new choline acetyltransferase transcript containing at i ts 5' end an untranslated exon (E1A) of 57 nucleotides in length exten ding from Nt 3771 to Nt 3828. It differs in the 5'-non coding region f rom the M-N-R type mRNA previously described in mouse and rat.
