    Summary
    Enables serotonin:sodium:chloride symporter activity. Involved in serotonin uptake. Located in axon terminus. Is expressed in several structures, including adult brain; anterior-posterior subdivision of organism; ganglia; serotonergic neurons; and synaptic neuropil domain. Used to study generalized anxiety 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, Dec 2024]

Data suggest that functional differences between human, and Drosophila melanogaster, and Caenorhabditis elegans serotonin transporters (SERT) in recognition of MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine, "ecstasy") as substrate are due to a single amino acid in transmembrane domain 10 (Glu394 in hSERT; Asn484 in dmSERT; Asp517 in ceSERT).
