Monoclonal antibodies, which block the high-affinity uptake of choline in synaptosomal ghosts, have been used to purify a membrane polypeptide (80 kDa) from insect synaptosomal membranes. This isolated protein was found to catalyse the sodium-dependent, hemicholinium-sensitive accumulation of choline after reconstitution into liposomes, thus, apparently represents the high-affinity choline transporter.
