Abstract excerpt
Serotonin transporter (SERT) is responsible for the re-uptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) from the synaptic cleft after release from serotonergic neurons. We show here that cysteine residues at positions in transmembranes 1 and 3 of SERT, like the corresponding positions in the gamma-aminobutyric acid transporter, can be cross-linked using copper(II)(1,10-phenanthroline)(3). The presence of a cross-link was...
