Vesicular monoamine transporter



The vesicular monoamine transporter is a transport protein located within the presynaptic cell. It comprises the two isoforms:

Substrates for the transporter is mainly noradrenaline, adrenaline and isoprenaline. However, other substrates include dopamine, 5-HT, guanethidine and MPP+.[1]

It can be inhibited by reserpine and tetrabenazine.[1]
