Relevance 

Plasmalemmal neurotransmitter transporters sequester synaptic and peri synaptic transmitter into presynaptic elements. The Dopamine Transporter (DAT) is responsible for the reaccumulation of dopamine after it has been released. Levels of DAT protein expression are altered by chronic drug administration. The activity of the DAT reuptake carrier is sodium dependent, and it is suspected to play a role in such neurologic and psychiatric disorders as Parkinson's disease, Tourette's disease, schizophrenia, and addiction. It is a 12 transmembrane domain transporter with the N and C terminal regions located within the cytoplasm.
