Choline Chloride is an acyl group acceptor and choline acetyltransferase substrate. Choline Chloride, a quaternary ammonium salt, serves as a vital source of the essential nutrient choline, playing a critical role in various biochemical processes. It is predominantly used in research applications for its involvement in the synthesis of the phospholipid phosphatidylcholine and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, for cell membrane integrity and intercellular communication, respectively. In studies focusing on cellular biology, Choline Chloride is often employed to explore the mechanisms of lipid metabolism and the cholinergic system, owing to its role in methylation reactions and signal transduction pathways.
