Target Details for SLC6A4

Target: SLC6A4 (Solute Carrier Family 6 (Neurotransmitter Transporter, serotonin), Member 4 (SLC6A4))

Alternative Name: SLC6A4 (SLC6A4 Products)

Background:

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

Tissue Specificity: Expressed in platelets (at protein level). .

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 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.

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