Dopamine Transporters

Dopamine transporters (DAT) are sodium- and chloride-dependent members of the solute carrier family 6 (SLC6) widely distributed throughout the brain in areas of dopaminergic activity, including the striatum and substantia nigra. They provide rapid clearance of dopamine.

Dopamine transporters (DAT) are sodium- and chloride-dependent members of the solute carrier family 6 (SLC6) widely distributed throughout the brain in areas of dopaminergic activity, including the striatum and substantia nigra. They provide rapid clearance of dopamine, adrenalin and noradrenalin from the synaptic cleft, terminating the neurotransmitter signal.

Dopamine transporters can also mediate an outward efflux and it has been suggested that inward and outward transport are independently regulated. Structural motifs include 12-TM domains, extracellular loops, cytoplasmic C- and N-termini and putative phosphorylation sites. There is evidence to support the role of dopamine transporters in attention deficit disorder, bipolar disorder, clinical depression and alcoholism.

Dopamine Receptors Scientific Review

Dopamine Receptors Scientific Review

Written by Phillip Strange and revised by Kim Neve in 2013, this review summarizes the history of the dopamine receptors and provides an overview of individual receptor subtype properties, their distribution and identifies ligands which act at each receptor subtype. Compounds available from Tocris are listed.

Addiction Poster

Addiction Poster

The key feature of drug addiction is the inability to stop using a drug despite clear evidence of harm. This poster describes the brain circuits associated with addiction, and provides an overview of the main classes of addictive drugs and the neurotransmitter systems that they target.

Parkinson's Disease Poster

Parkinson's Disease Poster

Parkinson's disease (PD) causes chronic disability and is the second most common neurodegenerative condition. This poster outlines the neurobiology of the disease, as well as highlighting current therapeutic treatments for symptomatic PD, and emerging therapeutic strategies to delay PD onset and progression.
