Transport of γ-aminobutyrate and
The uptakes of gamma-aminobutyrate (GABA) and L-glutamate into synaptic vesicles isolated from rat brain were compared with respect to the effects of 4-acetamido-4′-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2′- disulphonic acid (SITS), 4,4′-di-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2′-disulphonic acid (DIDS) and 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid (N144), agents known to block ...

Pharmacological Profile of the “Triple” Monoamine Neurotransmitter Uptake Inhibitor, DOV 102,677
1. The molecular and behavioral pharmacology of DOV 102,677 is characterized. 2. This characterization was performed using radioligand binding and neurotransmitter uptake assays targeting the monoamine neurotransmitter receptors. In addition, the effects of DOV 102,677 on extracellular neurotransmitter levels were investigated using in vivo ...

Recognition of Psychostimulants, Antidepressants, and Other Inhibitors of Synaptic Neurotransmitter Uptake by the Plasma Membrane Monoamine Transporters [PDF]
The plasma membrane monoamine transporters terminate neurotransmission by removing dopamine, norepinephrine, or serotonin from the synaptic cleft between neurons. Specific inhibitors for these transporters, including the abused psychostimulants cocaine and amphetamine and the tricyclic and SSRI classes of antidepressants, exert their physiological ...

ASC Transporters Mediate D-Serine Transport into Astrocytes Adjacent to Synapses in the Mouse Brain
D-serine is an important signalling molecule, which activates N-methyl D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) in conjunction with its fellow co-agonist, the neurotransmitter glutamate.
