Genetic testing is transforming depression treatment by tailoring antidepressants to your DNA for better results and fewer side effects.

A polymorphism in the serotonin transporter (SERT) gene has been linked to increased susceptibility to PAH, although this polymorphism alone does not appear sufficient to mediate PAH. Emerging ...

The drug can take effect by binding to the brain’s sodium-dependent serotonin transporter (SERT) protein. The SERT protein specifically helps transport serotonin across neural synapses.

This genotypic profile is in the serotonin transporter and serotonin-AB receptor complex. Additional analysis revealed that patients treated with AD04 experienced minimal adverse events ...

For example, researchers have found that light therapy can reduce serotonin transporter binding, leaving more of the feel-good serotonin hormone available in the brain. Scientists have also found ...

5-hydroxytrophan transporter, 5-HTT, is the membrane transporter for serotonin and uses an ion gradient for coupled reuptake. In the gut, 5-HTT is located in epithelial cells, and its function is ...

caused decreased serotonin transporter levels in the raphe nucleus and anxiety-like behaviour. Together these papers highlight not only the importance of developing animal models of depression ...
