Neurotransmitters can be broken down and removed in three different ways. The first way is called re-uptake, which is re-absorption of the neurotransmitter into the neuron. Transporters are protein molecules embedded in the presynaptic membrane. They are able to pump neurotransmitter molecules from the synaptic cleft back into the presynaptic cells. The second way is called enzymatic degradation which special chemicals called enzymes break it down. The third way is called diffusion where the neurotransmitter is detached from the receptor and drifts out of the synaptic cleft, becoming absorbed by the glial cellsAn enzyme called acetylcholinesterase within the synaptic gap can break down acetylcholine making it inactive. The breakdown products are recycled.
