Abstract excerpt
The plasma membrane dopamine transporter (DAT) has an essential role in terminating dopaminergic neurotransmission by reuptake of dopamine into the presynaptic neurons. Therefore, the amount of DAT at the cell surface is a critical determinant of DAT function. In this study, we examined the role of the carboxyl terminus of DAT in trafficking of the transporter through the biosynthetic pathway to the plasma...
