Gene Full Name :

Sodium-dependent serotonin transporter

Synonyms :

Sodium-dependent serotonin transporter; 5HT transporter; 5HTT; Solute carrier family 6 member 4; SLC6A4; HTT, SERT;

Protein Name :

Sodium-dependent serotonin transporter

Molecular Weight :

70325 MW

Protein Function :

Serotonin transporter whose primary function in the central nervous system involves the regulation of serotonergic signaling via transport of serotonin molecules from the synaptic cleft back into the pre-synaptic terminal for re-utilization. Plays a key role in mediating regulation of the availability of serotonin to other receptors of serotonergic systems. Terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent manner.

Subcellular Localization :

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endomembrane system; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Translocates from intracellular locations to the plasma membrane. Density of transporter molecules on the plasma membrane is itself regulated by serotonin.

Tissue Specificity :

Expressed in platelets (at protein level).

Recommended Detection Systems :

Boster recommends Enhanced Chemiluminescent Kit with anti-Rabbit IgG (EK1002) for Western blot.

Sequence Similarities :

Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) family. SLC6A4 subfamily.

Background :

SLC6A4 (Solute carrier family 6, member 4), also known as SERT (serotonin transporter), is a monoamine transporter protein. The SLC6A4 gene spans 31 kb and contains 14 exons. This protein integral membrane protein that transports the neurotransmitter serotonin from synaptic spaces into presynaptic neurons. This transport of serotonin by the SERT protein terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent manner. This protein is the target of many antidepressant medications, including those of the SSRI class. It is a member of the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter family. A repeat length polymorphism in the promoter of this gene has been shown to affect the rate of serotonin uptake and may play a role in sudden infant death syndrome, aggressive behavior in Alzheimer disease patients, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression-susceptibility in people experiencing emotional trauma.
