Function

Serotonin transporter whose primary function in the central nervous system involves the regulation of serotonergic signaling via transport of serotonin molecules from the synaptic cleft back into the pre-synaptic terminal for re-utilization. Plays a key role in mediating regulation of the availability of serotonin to other receptors of serotonergic systems. Terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent manner (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Endomembrane system {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endosome membrane {ECO:0000250}. Note=Translocates from intracellular locations to the plasma membrane. Density of transporter molecules on the plasma membrane is itself regulated by serotonin (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
