  • FUNCTION Mediates sodium- and chloride-dependent transport of norepinephrine (also known as noradrenaline), the primary signaling neurotransmitter in the autonomic sympathetic nervous system (PubMed:2008212, PubMed:8125921, PubMed:38750358). Is responsible for norepinephrine re-uptake and clearance from the synaptic cleft, thus playing a crucial role in norepinephrine inactivation and homeostasis (By similarity). Can also mediate sodium- and chloride-dependent transport of dopamine (PubMed:11093780, PubMed:8125921, PubMed:39395208, PubMed:39048818).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY (R)-noradrenaline(out) + chloride(out) + Na(+)(out) = (R)-noradrenaline(in) + chloride(in) + Na(+)(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY dopamine(out) + chloride(out) + Na(+)(out) = dopamine(in) + chloride(in) + Na(+)(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY dopamine(out) + chloride(out) + 2 Na(+)(out) = dopamine(in) + chloride(in) + 2 Na(+)(in)ACTIVITY REGULATION Inhibited by mazindol, desipramine, nomifensine and nortriptyline.BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES Monomer (PubMed:39048818). Can form homodimers in the cell membrane; homodimerization is mostly mediated by cholesterol and lipids, and regulates neurotransmitter transport activity (PubMed:38750358). Interacts with PRKCABP.INTERACTION Palmitoylated; palmitoylation regulates protein levels and neurotransmitter transport (PubMed:39395208).DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.MISCELLANEOUS This protein is the target of psychomotor stimulants such as amphetamines or cocaine.SIMILARITY Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) family. SLC6A2 subfamily.
