Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • Sodium chloride-dependent neurotransmitter symporters located primarily on the PLASMA MEMBRANE of serotonergic neurons. They are different than SEROTONIN RECEPTORS, which signal cellular responses to SEROTONIN. They remove SEROTONIN from the EXTRACELLULAR SPACE by high affinity reuptake into PRESYNAPTIC TERMINALS. Regulates signal amplitude and duration at serotonergic synapses and is the site of action of the SEROTONIN UPTAKE INHIBITORS. A sodium chloride-dependent neurotransmitter symporter located on the PLASMA MEMBRANE of BLOOD PLATELETS. It transports SEROTONIN from the EXTRACELLULAR SPACE into the platelet CYTOPLASM.
