Anxiety-associated alternative polyadenylation of the serotonin transporter mRNA confers translational regulation by hnRNPK
24 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
The serotonin transporter (SERT) is a major regulator of serotonergic neurotransmission and anxiety-related behaviors. SERT is expressed in two alternative polyadenylation forms that differ by an evolutionarily conserved element in the 3' untranslated region of its mRNA. Expression of SERT mRNA containing the distal polyadenylation element is associated with decreased anxiety-related behaviors in mice and humans,...
