Flurbiprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, reportedly exhibits chemical chaperone activity. Herein, we investigated the role of flurbiprofen in regulating serotonin transporter (SERT) function via membrane trafficking. We used COS-7 cells transiently expressing wild-type (WT) SERT or a C-terminus-deleted mutant of SERT (SERTΔCT), a misfolded protein. Flurbiprofen treatment reduced the expression of...
