General description

Choline is a constituent of sphingomyelin and lecithin. It is a precursor of acetylcholine. Choline plays a vital role in methyl group metabolism, carcinogenesis and lipid transport. Choline deficiency is associated with fatty liver. It maintains cell structural integrity and cell signalling. Choline is implicated in the synthesis of phospholipids. It acts as a potent biomarker for ischemic heart disease.
Choline acetyltransferase substrate

Application

Choline chloride has been used:
  • in choline release assay
  • as an endogenous agonist of sigma-1 receptors (Sig-1Rs)
  • as a standard to analyse interrelationships between methionine and choline metabolism

Biochem/physiol Actions

Choline is an essential nutrient, commonly grouped with the B complex vitamins, that plays key roles in many biological processes.

Nanoscale disassembly of mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) in ionic liquids (ILs) was recently shown to induce an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)-detectable reorganization of free radical centers in the resulting nanoparticles (NPs) in an IL-controlled manner. Herein, we report electrical impedance spectroscopy
