Abstract:Neurotransmitter transporters belong to the superfamily of solute carrier. Transporters regulate transmitter levels in the extracellular space and in transmitter‐containing vesiclesby controlling the movement of transmitter between various intracellular andextracellular compartments in brain. This function is achieved in part by coupling the movement of transmitter against its concentration gradient to the movement of associated ions down their electrochemical gradients. Disruption of the normal transport proc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
