Abstract excerpt
The rat serotonin transporter (rSERT) is an N-glycosylated integral membrane protein with 12 transmembrane regions; the N-glycans improve the ability of the SERT polypeptide chain to fold into a functional transporter, but they are not required for the transmembrane transport of serotonin per se. In order to define the best system for the expression, purification and structural analysis of serotonin transporter...
