MyBioSource.com's SLC6A4 (Solute Carrier Family 6 Member 4, Sodium-dependent Serotonin Transporter, 5HT Transporter, 5HTT, HTT, SERT) is a Human, and Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Western Blot. The SLC6A4 (Solute Carrier Family 6 Member 4, Sodium-dependent Serotonin Transporter, 5HT Transporter, 5HTT, HTT, SERT) Antibody was generated using 5-HTTLPR, 5HTT, hSERT, SERT, SERT1, and SLC6A4 as the antigen and it reacts with Human, and Mouse.
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
