Background： This gene encodes a dopamine transporter which is a member of the sodium- and chloride-dependent neurotransmitter transporter family. The 3' UTR of this gene contains a 40 bp tandem repeat, referred to as a variable number tandem repeat or VNTR, which can be present in 3 to 11 copies. Variation in the number of repeats is associated with idiopathic epilepsy, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dependence on alcohol and cocaine, susceptibility to Parkinson disease and protection against nicotine dependence.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009],

Function：function:Amine transporter. Terminates the action of dopamine by its high affinity sodium-dependent reuptake into presynaptic terminals.,miscellaneous:This protein is the target of psychomotor stimulants such as amphetamines or cocaine.,online information:Dopamine transporter entry,similarity:Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) family.,subunit:Homooligomer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with PRKCABP and TGFB1I1.,

Subcellular Location：Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cell projection, neuron projection . Cell projection, axon . Localizes to neurite tips in neuronal cells (By similarity). Colocalizes with SEPTIN4 at axon terminals, especially at the varicosities (By similarity). .

Expression：Highly expressed in substantia nigra (PubMed:7637582). Expressed in axonal varicosities in dopaminergic nerve terminals (at protein level) (PubMed:17296554). Expressed in the striatum (at protein level) (PubMed:17296554).
