Serotonin and Noradrenaline Reuptake (SNRI Target)

Target
SNRI Target
Molecular classification
Transporter, Membrane Transport Protein
01

Overview

Serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake refers to the biological process by which the neurotransmitters serotonin (5-HT) and noradrenaline (NE) are transported from the synaptic cleft back into presynaptic neurons via SERT and NET transporters. Inhibition of these transporters is the mechanism of action of SNRIs, leading to increased synaptic concentrations of these neurotransmitters and enhanced signaling. This target is central to modern antidepressant and anxiolytic therapy.

Mechanism of action

Inhibition of serotonin (SERT) and noradrenaline (NET) transporters, leading to increased extracellular concentrations of serotonin and noradrenaline in the synaptic cleft and enhanced postsynaptic receptor activation.
