Summary: Enables several functions, including cocaine binding activity; monoatomic cation transmembrane transporter activity; and syntaxin-1 binding activity. Involved in several processes, including behavioral response to cocaine; cellular response to cGMP; and learning or memory. Located in endomembrane system and plasma membrane. Is active in postsynaptic membrane; presynaptic membrane; and serotonergic synapse. Used to study anxiety disorder; depressive disorder; and pulmonary hypertension. Biomarker of Parkinsonism; borna disease; congenital diaphragmatic hernia; and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; anxiety disorder (multiple); depressive disorder (multiple); heart disease (multiple); and substance abuse (multiple). Orthologous to human SLC6A4 (solute carrier family 6 member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
