1 Nicotine stimulates transcriptional activity of the human dopamine transporter gene. Nicotine solute carrier family 6 member 3 Homo sapiens
2 Nicotine modulates dopaminergic activity in the central nervous system by acting on the reuptake system, including the dopamine transporter (DAT), although precisely remains unclear. Nicotine solute carrier family 6 member 3 Homo sapiens
3 Nicotine modulates dopaminergic activity in the central nervous system by acting on the reuptake system, including the dopamine transporter (DAT), although precisely remains unclear. Nicotine solute carrier family 6 member 3 Homo sapiens
