other info1 :
Biological Significance: Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is a catecholamine with a molecular weight of 176 Daltons that is formed in gastrointestinal enteroendocrine cells, platelets, brain and spinal cord. It is secreted by enterochromaffin cells (EC) in the stomach, intestines and appendix and is believed to play a role in gut motility. Serotonin is the major secretion of carcinoid tumors. It is metabolized with the production of 5-hydroxy-indoleacetic acid.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes an integral membrane protein that transports the neurotransmitter serotonin from synaptic spaces into presynaptic neurons. The encoded protein terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent manner. This protein is a target of psychomotor stimulants, such as amphetamines and cocaine, and 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, and depression-susceptibility in people experiencing emotional trauma.
