Abstract

Certain basic characteristics of choline uptake in nerve terminals were studied with synaptosomes from rat hippocampus. Synaptosomal $[^3H]$-choline uptake was clarified as specific and high affinity by low Km value(2.2 uM), Na+-dependency and high sensitivity to hemicholinium-3, a competitive inhibitor of choline uptake. Choline uptake into synaptosomes was linearlys related to Na+ concentration and membrane potential. Extracellular Ca2+ modulated the choline uptake, but probably not through increase of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$, because this modulation was not affected the by high $K^+$-depolarization. EGTA (2mM) added for $Ca^{2+}$-free condition had a peculiar effect of decreasing choline uptake. These results suggest that Ca2+ may play an important role in regulating the metabolism of acetylcholine in the nerve terminals directly through the increase of acetylcholine release.
