title: Characterization and purification of the neuronal sodium-ion-coupled 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter.
abstract: The selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) uptake inhibitor, [3H]paroxetine, has been used as a specific probe in a series of experiments aimed at characterizing the substrate and 5-HT uptake inhibitor binding domains on the neuronal sodium-ion-coupled 5-HT transporter. In addition, an affinity-chromatographic protocol which provided a greater than 3000-fold purification of this neuronal transporter protein is outlined.
