The directed movement of acetylcholine into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Acetylcholine is an acetic acid ester of the organic base choline and functions as a neurotransmitter, released at the synapses of parasympathetic nerves and at neuromuscular junctions. Any process that modulates levels of neurotransmitter. The process whereby a signal is secreted or discharged into the extracellular medium from a cellular source. The directed movement of amines, including polyamines, organic compounds containing one or more amino groups, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of a neurotransmitter into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Neurotransmitters are any chemical substance that is capable of transmitting (or inhibiting the transmission of) a nerve impulse from a neuron to another cell. The regulated release of acetylcholine by a cell or group of cells. The acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that acts in both the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS). Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of acetylcholine. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of acetylcholine. The controlled release of a substance by a cell. The regulated release of neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. A neurotransmitter is any of a group of substances that are released on excitation from the axon terminal of a presynaptic neuron of the central or peripheral nervous system and travel across the synaptic cleft to either excite or inhibit the target cell. Among the many substances that have the properties of a neurotransmitter are acetylcholine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, dopamine, glycine, gamma-aminobutyrate, glutamic acid, substance P, enkephalins, endorphins and serotonin. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of acetylcholine.
