14C choline is typically used in choline uptake assays involving the blood-brain barrier choline transporter via both sodium-dependent and passive transport mechanisms. 14C choline is also used to study metabolism of choline within the brain using in vivo studies. Choline is a structural component of the phospholipids phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, and a precursor for the acetylcholine neurotransmitter, which is involved in memory and muscle control.
