The serotonin transporter (SERT) is a key regulator of serotonergic signalling as it mediates the re-uptake of synaptic serotonin into nerve terminals, thereby terminating or modulating its signal. It is well-known that SERT regulation is a dynamic process orchestrated by a wide array of proteins and mechanisms. However, molecular details on possible coordinated regulation of SERT activity and 5-HT release are incomplete.

The serotonin transporter (SERT) belongs to a family of sodium- and chloride-dependent neurotransmitter transporters that are responsible for the active re-uptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin from the synapse. In the present study, using the yeast two-hybrid system, we identified the membrane glycoprotein M6B as a binding partner of SERT. This interaction was further verified by co-immunoprecipitation and glutathione-S-transferase pull-down assays.

The plasma membrane serotonin transporter (SERT) has an important role in terminating serotonergic neurotransmission by re-uptake of 5-HT from the synaptic cleft. The expression of SERT on the cell surface is therefore a critical factor. In this study, we examined the role of the carboxyl terminus of SERT in trafficking to the plasma membrane.
