DAT presentation LECTURE
This document summarizes research on the dopamine transporter (DAT). It describes DAT's structure, function, localization, and regulation. Key points include: - DAT is a transmembrane protein that transports dopamine across the synapse against its concentration gradient using ion gradients. - DAT transports dopamine, cocaine, amphetamines, and MPP+. Cocaine and amphetamines block or reverse DAT's function, prolonging dopamine signaling. MPP+ is toxic and causes Parkinson's disease. - DAT requires sodium and chloride ions to transport dopamine. Its gene has been cloned and knockout mice lack dopamine reuptake. - The crystal structure of a bacterial homolog reveals DAT has 12 transmembrane domains and
