products description :
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.

uniprot summary :
SERT: 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. Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) family. SLC6A4 subfamily. Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Transporter; Membrane protein, multi-pass. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17q11.2. Cellular Component: neuron projection; integral to plasma membrane; plasma membrane; endomembrane system; endosome membrane; cytosol; lipid raft. Molecular Function: actin filament binding; serotonin transmembrane transporter activity; protein binding; protein homodimerization activity; myosin binding; serotonin:sodium symporter activity; cocaine binding; monoamine transmembrane transporter activity; syntaxin-1 binding; nitric-oxide synthase binding; Rab GTPase binding.
