Dopamine Transporter Internalizes by Means of a Dynamin-Independent Endocytic Pathway

open in viewerThe Dopamine Transporter (DAT) is a trans-membrane protein that binds dopamine and transports it into the cell, removing it from the synapse and terminating the signal to the post-synaptic cell. The endocytic pathway by which DAT internalizes is yet unknown. Dynamin is a GTPase that is known to be involved in the budding of vesicles during some endocytic pathways. The present study was performed to determine if DAT internalizes via a dynamin-dependent endocytic pathway. Data shows that DAT internalization is not dynamin-dependent and implicates that dynamin may be involved in recycling DAT to the cell surface.
