Choline plays a vital role in various metabolic processes. As a precursor to acetylcholine, it’s crucial for maintaining healthy neurological function. Choline is involved in lipid metabolism both aiding in the transport and metabolism of fats in the liver and as a precursor to phosphatidylcholine, a major component of membranes. Choline is also highly important as a methyl donor, contributing to the formation of S-adenosylmethionine, a molecule with diverse functions. Small amounts of choline can be synthesized but dietary intake is important to maintain the amounts required for optimal health. AkrivisBio’s Choline Assay is a simple sensitive method of measuring choline in a variety of biological samples with a sensitivity from the low picomole to the multi-nanomole range.
