TargetCategoryDefinition
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]

monoamine:proton antiporter activitymolecular functionEnables the transfer of a solute or solutes from one side of a membrane to the other according to the reaction: H+(out) + monoamine(in) = H+(in) + monoamine(out). [TC:2.A.1.2.11, TC:2.A.1.2.12]

Located In

This protein is located in 11 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
centrosomecellular componentA structure comprised of a core structure (in most organisms, a pair of centrioles) and peripheral material from which a microtubule-based structure, such as a spindle apparatus, is organized. Centrosomes occur close to the nucleus during interphase in many eukaryotic cells, though in animal cells it changes continually during the cell-division cycle. [GOC:mah, ISBN:0198547684]
plasma membranecellular componentThe membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363]
synaptic vesiclecellular componentA secretory organelle, typically 50 nm in diameter, of presynaptic nerve terminals; accumulates in high concentrations of neurotransmitters and secretes these into the synaptic cleft by fusion with the 'active zone' of the presynaptic plasma membrane. [PMID:10099709, PMID:12563290]
membranecellular componentA lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it and attached to it. [GOC:dos, GOC:mah, ISBN:0815316194]
axoncellular componentThe long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter. [GOC:nln, ISBN:0198506732]
dendritecellular componentA neuron projection that has a short, tapering, morphology. Dendrites receive and integrate signals from other neurons or from sensory stimuli, and conduct nerve impulses towards the axon or the cell body. In most neurons, the impulse is conveyed from dendrites to axon via the cell body, but in some types of unipolar neuron, the impulse does not travel via the cell body. [GOC:aruk, GOC:bc, GOC:dos, GOC:mah, GOC:nln, ISBN:0198506732]
secretory granule membranecellular componentThe lipid bilayer surrounding a secretory granule. [GOC:mah]
synaptic vesicle membranecellular componentThe lipid bilayer surrounding a synaptic vesicle. [GOC:mah]
intracellular membrane-bounded organellecellular componentOrganized structure of distinctive morphology and function, bounded by a single or double lipid bilayer membrane and occurring within the cell. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, and vesicles. Excludes the plasma membrane. [GOC:go_curators]
clathrin-sculpted monoamine transport vesicle membranecellular componentThe lipid bilayer surrounding a clathrin-sculpted monoamine transport vesicle. [GOC:mg2]
dopaminergic synapsecellular componentA synapse that uses dopamine as a neurotransmitter. [GOC:dos]

Active In

This protein is active in 2 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
terminal boutoncellular componentTerminal inflated portion of the axon, containing the specialized apparatus necessary to release neurotransmitters. The axon terminus is considered to be the whole region of thickening and the terminal bouton is a specialized region of it. [GOC:dph, GOC:mc, GOC:nln, PMID:10218156, PMID:8409967]
synaptic vesicle membranecellular componentThe lipid bilayer surrounding a synaptic vesicle. [GOC:mah]

Involved In

This protein is involved in 18 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
response to amphetaminebiological processAny process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an amphetamine stimulus. Amphetamines consist of a group of compounds related to alpha-methylphenethylamine. [GOC:dph, GOC:ef]
serotonin secretion by mast cellbiological processThe regulated release of serotonin by a mast cell or group of mast cells. [GOC:add, ISBN:0781735149]
histamine secretion by mast cellbiological processThe regulated release of histamine by a mast cell or group of mast cells. [GOC:add, ISBN:0781735149]
neurotransmitter transportbiological processThe directed movement of a neurotransmitter into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Neurotransmitters are any chemical substance that is capable of transmitting (or inhibiting the transmission of) a nerve impulse from a neuron to another cell. [GOC:ai]
chemical synaptic transmissionbiological processThe vesicular release of classical neurotransmitter molecules from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of neurotransmitter receptors at the postsynapse of a target cell (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) and the effects of this activation on the postsynaptic membrane potential and ionic composition of the postsynaptic cytosol. This process encompasses both spontaneous and evoked release of neurotransmitter and all parts of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Evoked transmission starts with the arrival of an action potential at the presynapse. [GOC:jl, MeSH:D009435]
locomotory behaviorbiological processThe specific movement from place to place of an organism in response to external or internal stimuli. Locomotion of a whole organism in a manner dependent upon some combination of that organism's internal state and external conditions. [GOC:dph]
response to toxic substancebiological processAny process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a toxic stimulus. [GOC:lr]
post-embryonic developmentbiological processThe process whose specific outcome is the progression of the organism over time, from the completion of embryonic development to the mature structure. See embryonic development. [GOC:go_curators]
monoamine transportbiological processThe directed movement of monoamines, organic compounds that contain one amino group that is connected to an aromatic ring by an ethylene group (-CH2-CH2-), into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:mah]
dopamine transportbiological processThe directed movement of dopamine into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter and a metabolic precursor of noradrenaline and adrenaline. [GOC:ai]
sequestering of neurotransmitterbiological processThe process of binding or confining a neurotransmitter such that it is separated from other components of a biological system. [GOC:ai]
serotonin uptakebiological processThe directed movement of serotonin into a cell, typically presynaptic neurons or glial cells. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is a monoamine neurotransmitter occurring in the peripheral and central nervous systems. [GOC:ai]
histamine uptakebiological processThe directed movement of histamine into a cell, typically presynaptic neurons or glial cells. Histamine is a physiologically active amine, found in plant and animal tissue and released from mast cells as part of an allergic reaction in humans. [GOC:ai]
neurotransmitter loading into synaptic vesiclebiological processThe active transport of neurotransmitters into a synaptic vesicle. This import is fuelled by an electrochemical gradient across the vesicle membrane, established by the action of proton pumps. [GOC:bf, GOC:pad, GOC:PARL, PMID:10099709, PMID:15217342]
somato-dendritic dopamine secretionbiological processThe regulated release of dopamine from the somatodendritic compartment (cell body or dendrites) of a neuron. [GOC:bf, GOC:PARL, PMID:21576241]
