Introduction
Neurotransmitter transporters play a crucial role in the regulation of neurotransmitter levels in the brain, which is essential for proper neuronal communication. Understanding the biochemical mechanisms of neurotransmitter transporters is fundamental in elucidating the pathophysiology of various neurological disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and addiction. This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the biochemical mechanisms underlying neurotransmitter transporters, with a focus on their structure, function, and regulation.
