On the Uptake Mechanism of Choline in Nerve Cell Cultures

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Transport Phenomena in the Nervous System

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 69))

Abstract

Much evidence points to the possibility that the rate limiting step in acetylcholine synthesis is bound to a mass action effect of its substrates: choline and acetyl-CoA 1–3. The availability of choline and acetyl-CoA thus is of crucial importance for the synthesis of the neurotransmitter.
