Turnover rate is relevant for neurotransmitters which are degraded within the synapse. Some NTs are not (see serotonin- not degraded within the synapse to a significant degree, mostly reuptaken by the presynaptic side). Acetylcholine on the other hand is degraded by acetylcholinesterase within the synapse, and its components are then reuptaken. Turnover rate refers to the degradation rate (basically the amount of acetylcholinesterase in the synapse)
