Effect of palmitoylation on the dimer formation of the human dopamine transporter

Abstract The human dopamine transporter (hDAT) is one in three members of the monoamine transporter family (MAT). hDAT is essential for regulating the dopamine concentration in the synaptic cleft through dopamine reuptake into the presynaptic neuron; thereby controlling hDAT dopamine signaling.
