Acetylcholine (ACh) is synthesized by choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) in the cytoplasm of cholinergic nerve terminals and transported into synaptic vesicles by vesicular ACh transporter (VAChT). The genes encoding ChAT and VAChT are colocalized within the genome, and their products are known to be
Labelled histamine was taken up into cultured glial cells of chick embryonic brain by a system with high affinity for histamine and diffusion. The active uptake, occurring at low concentrations of the amine, was Na+ dependent and gave an apparent K, of 0.24 pM and a V, , , of 0.31 pmol x mg protein
