Gene nameSLC5A7
Protein nameSLC5A7 protein
High affinity choline transporter 1 (hCHT1) (Hemicholinium-3-sensitive choline transporter) (CHT) (Solute carrier family 5 member 7)
SynonymsCHT1
DescriptionFUNCTION: High-affinity Na(+)-coupled choline transmembrane symporter . Functions as an electrogenic, voltage-dependent transporter with variable charge/choline stoichiometry . Choline uptake and choline-induced current is also Cl(-)-dependent where Cl(-) is likely a regulatory ion rather than cotransported ion . Plays a critical role in acetylcholine (ACh) synthesis by taking up the substrate choline from the synaptic cleft into the presynaptic nerve terminals after neurotransmitter release . SLC5A7/CHT1-mediated choline high-affinity transport in cholinergic neurons is the rate-limiting step for production of ACh, thereby facilitating communication by subsequent action potentials . Localized predominantly in presynaptic terminal intracellular organelles, and translocated to the plasma membrane in active form in response to neuronal activity . .
