Infantile parkinsonism-dystonia: a dopamine "transportopathy".

The Journal of clinical investigation - 1 Jun 2009

Blackstone Craig

Abstract excerpt

The dopamine transporter (DAT) retrieves the neurotransmitter dopamine from the synaptic cleft at dopaminergic synapses. Variations in solute carrier family 6A, member 3 (SLC6A3/DAT1), the human gene encoding DAT, have been implicated in attention deficit hyperactivity and bipolar disorders, and DAT is a prominent site of action for drugs such as amphetamines and cocaine. In this issue of the JCI, Kurian et al....
