Function

Serotonin transporter that cotransports serotonin with one Na(+) ion in exchange for one K(+) ion and possibly one proton in an overall electroneutral transport cycle. Transports serotonin across the plasma membrane from the extracellular compartment to the cytosol thus limiting serotonin intercellular signaling (By similarity) (PubMed:9037532, PubMed:9547354). Essential for serotonin homeostasis in the central nervous system. In the developing somatosensory cortex, acts in glutamatergic neurons to control serotonin uptake and its trophic functions accounting for proper spatial organization of cortical neurons and elaboration of sensory circuits. In the mature cortex, acts primarily in brainstem raphe neurons to mediate serotonin uptake from the synaptic cleft back into the pre-synaptic terminal thus terminating serotonin signaling at the synapse (PubMed:25600870, PubMed:9547354). Modulates mucosal serotonin levels in the gastrointestinal tract through uptake and clearance of serotonin in enterocytes. Required for enteric neurogenesis and gastrointestinal reflexes (PubMed:27111230). Regulates blood serotonin levels by ensuring rapid high affinity uptake of serotonin from plasma to platelets, where it is further stored in dense granules via vesicular monoamine transporters and then released upon stimulation (PubMed:18317590). Mechanistically, the transport cycle starts with an outward-open conformation having Na1(+) and Cl(-) sites occupied. The binding of a second extracellular Na2(+) ion and serotonin substrate leads to structural changes to outward-occluded to inward-occluded to inward-open, where the Na2(+) ion and serotonin are released into the cytosol. Binding of intracellular K(+) ion induces conformational transitions to inward-occluded to outward-open and completes the cycle by releasing K(+) possibly together with a proton bound to Asp-98 into the extracellular compartment. Na1(+) and Cl(-) ions remain bound throughout the transport cycle (By similarity) (PubMed:9037532, PubMed:9547354). Additionally, displays serotonin-induced channel-like conductance for monovalent cations, mainly Na(+) ions. The channel activity is uncoupled from the transport cycle and may contribute to the membrane resting potential or excitability (By similarity).

Activity summary

The serotonin transporter (SERT) also known as 5-HTT or SLC6A4 is an important protein that facilitates the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) from the synaptic cleft back into the presynaptic neuron. This reuptake process terminates the serotonin signaling effectively controlling its availability in the brain. SERT is approximately 620 amino acids in length with a mass of around 70 kDa. Primarily expressed in the central nervous system it is also found in peripheral tissues. Its widespread presence highlights its critical role in regulating mood and cognition via serotonin modulation.

Biological function summary

The function of SERT impacts neurotransmitter balance significantly as it is integral to serotonin regulation. By removing serotonin from the synaptic cleft and recycling it SERT maintains neurotransmitter homeostasis. SERT is not usually part of a larger protein complex but acts independently to modulate serotonin levels. The activity of SERT affects various neurological processes contributing to mood maintenance and behavioral controls.

Pathways

Serotonin transporter influences the serotonin signaling pathway which is important for mood regulation and cognitive functions. It works alongside other proteins like monoamine oxidase which degrades serotonin and serotonin receptors that mediate its effects. Additionally SERT is involved in the pharmacological pathways of antidepressants. Escitalopram oxalate and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) target SERT to block the reuptake of serotonin increasing its extracellular levels and synaptic availability.

Associated diseases and disorders

SERT has a strong association with depressive disorders and anxiety due to its role in serotonin regulation. Alterations in SERT expression or function can lead to disruptions in the serotonergic system potentially resulting in mood disorders. SSRIs like escitalopram oxalate are well-known treatments that target SERT to alleviate symptoms. Moreover mutations and polymorphisms in the SERT gene have been linked to various psychiatric conditions illustrating a genetic connection to the protein’s function.
