Monoamine Transporter (MAT)

Target
MAT
Molecular classification
Transporter, Solute Carrier Family 6 (SLC6)
01

Overview

Monoamine transporters (MATs) are integral membrane proteins responsible for the reuptake of monoamine neurotransmitters—dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine—from the synaptic cleft back into presynaptic neurons. This process is essential for terminating neurotransmitter signaling and maintaining neurotransmitter homeostasis in the central nervous system. They are critical targets for many drugs including antidepressants (SSRIs/SNRIs), psychostimulants like cocaine/amphetamine, as well as being implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression or ADHD.
