Encyclopedia
In genetics, rs28363170 is a genetic variation at SLC6A3, the gene that encodes the dopamine transporter
. It is polymorphism as a 40 base pairs VNTR in the 3' untranslated region.
It is an deletion/insertion polymorphism (DIP).
The 9-repeat and the 10-repeat are the most common alleles.
Dopamine transporter
The dopamine transporter is a membrane-spanning protein that pumps the neurotransmitter dopamine out of the synapse back into cytosol, from which other transporters sequester DA and NE into vesicles for later storage and release...
