choline transmembrane transporter activity
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0015220
Enables the transfer of choline from one side of a membrane to the other. Choline (2-hydroxyethyltrimethylammonium) is an amino alcohol that occurs widely in living organisms as a constituent of certain types of phospholipids and in the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. [ GOC:ai ]
Synonyms: choline permease activity
