SLC10A4 Is a Vesicular Amine-Associated Transporter Modulating Dopamine Homeostasis

摘要

BACKGROUND: The neuromodulatory transmitters, biogenic amines, have profound effects on multiple neurons and are essential for normal behavior and mental health. Here we report that the orphan transporter SLC10A4, which in the brain is exclusively expressed in presynaptic vesicles of monoaminergic and cholinergic neurons, has a regulatory role in dopamine homeostasis.
