Abstract
Choline acetyltransferase activity in homogenates, or in partially purified extracts of rat brain cerebra, was increased by 11–37% in the presence of ethanol when incubated at 38°C with [ 14C] acetyl-CoA, choline chloride and alcohol concentrations of 0.17M to 1.02M. In preincubation experiments with enzyme preparations and ethanol, inactivation of the enzyme by the alcohol, which occurs at incubation times longer than 20 minutes, could be at least partially prevented by the addition of certain components of the incubation mixture to the preincubation mixture.
