Modulation of the trafficking of the human serotonin transporter by human alpha‐synuclein
1 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
alpha-Synuclein (alpha-Syn), a protein primarily localized in the presynaptic compartment of neurons, is known to regulate dopaminergic neurotransmission by negatively modulating dopamine transporter activity and regulating its trafficking to or away from the cell surface.
