“…Although SERT expression in astrocytes has been reported by several groups (Inazu et al, 2001; Kubota et al, 2001; Malynn et al, 2013), these findings remain limited and require further validation. In addition to SERT, it has been shown that organic cation transporters (Baganz et al, 2008; Schmitt et al, 2003), plasma membrane monoamine transporters (Vieira & Wang, 2021; Zhou et al, 2007), dopamine transporters (Daws, 2009; Zhou et al, 2002), and norepinephrine transporters (Daws, 2009; Daws et al, 1998) are also involved in the serotonin clearance process from extracellular space. These “non‐traditional” serotonin‐clearing proteins play an important role when extracellular serotonin levels are excessive, especially as a complementary mechanism when SERT function is deficient (Baganz et al, 2008; Daws, 2009; Pan et al, 2001).…”
