Na+ dependent noradrenaline transporter; norepinephrine transporter; NET; solute carrier family 6 member 2 (SLC6A2, NAT1, NET1, SLC6A5)
Function:
- amine transporter
- terminates the action of noradrenaline by its high affinity Na+-dependent reuptake into presynaptic terminals
- interacts with PRKCABP
Structure:
- belongs to the Na+:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) family
Compartment: membrane
Expression:
- a 5.8 kB mRNA transcript is localized to adrenal medulla & locus ceruleus norepinephrine neurons
- a 3.6 kB mRNA transcript is ubiquitously expressed
- may be cross hybridization or glial-specific form
Pathology:
- defects in SLC6A2 are a cause of orthostatic intolerance
