- 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.
General description
Choline acetyltransferase substrate
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.
