Abstract excerpt
The extraneuronal monoamine transporter EMT (HGNC Nomenclature SLC22A3) is the molecular correlate of the classical uptake(2) system responsible for the non-neuronal inactivation of circulating and centrally released catecholamines. Because of its functional profile and expression pattern, EMT is regarded as a candidate gene for diseases related to the sympathetic nervous system and neuropsychiatric disorders. We...
