| Gene Symbol | SLC6A4 |
| Gene Full Name | solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 4 |
| Background | This gene encodes an integral membrane protein that transports the neurotransmitter serotonin from synaptic spaces into presynaptic neurons. The encoded protein terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent manner. This protein is a target of psychomotor stimulants, such as amphetamines and cocaine, and is a member of the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter family. A repeat length polymorphism in the promoter of this gene has been shown to affect the rate of serotonin uptake. There have been conflicting results in the literature about the possible effect, if any, that this polymorphism may play in behavior and depression. [provided by RefSeq, May 2019] |
| Function | Serotonin transporter whose primary function in the central nervous system involves the regulation of serotonergic signaling via transport of serotonin molecules from the synaptic cleft back into the pre-synaptic terminal for re-utilization. Plays a key role in mediating regulation of the availability of serotonin to other receptors of serotonergic systems. Terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent manner.

| Cellular Localization | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endomembrane system; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Could be part of recycling endosomes (PubMed:18227069, PubMed:16870614). Density of transporter molecules on the plasma membrane is itself regulated by STX1A (By similarity). Density of transporter molecules on the plasma membrane is also regulated by serotonin (PubMed:17506858) (PubMed:18227069). [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 70 kDa |
| PTM | Glycosylated; modification with sialylated N-glycans is a requirement for transporters to associate with each other and to function as homooligomeric forms. Phosphorylation at Thr-276 increases 5-HT uptake and is required for cGMP-mediated SERT regulation. Phosphorylation upon PKC stimulation modifies the SERT distribution and density in the membrane, and diminishes the uptake capacity. [UniProt] |
