Gene Summary

Enables several functions, including amine binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and sodium:chloride symporter activity. Involved in several processes, including dopamine transport; response to cAMP; and response to ethanol. Located in neuron projection and plasma membrane. Is active in dopaminergic synapse; postsynaptic membrane; and presynaptic membrane. Biomarker of Parkinsonism; heroin dependence; high grade glioma; hyperprolactinemia; and hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; classic dopamine transporter deficiency syndrome; mild cognitive impairment; nicotine dependence; and obesity. Orthologous to human SLC6A3 (solute carrier family 6 member 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, May 2025]
