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 activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of acetylcholine into a cell. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of 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. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. 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 neurotransmitters into neurons or glial cells. This process leads to inactivation and recycling of neurotransmitters. It does not occur during cholinergic synaptic transmission. Instead, acetylcholine is enzymatically degraded in the synaptic cleft. Any process that modulates the frequency or rate of synaptic transmission, the process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of amines into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of a neurotransmitter into a neuron or glial cell. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of acetylcholine into a cell. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into a cell. The directed movement of acetylcholine into a cell, typically presynaptic neurons or glial cells. Acetylcholine is a major neurotransmitter and neuromodulator both in the central and peripheral nervous systems. It also acts as a paracrine signal in various non-neural tissues.
