ABSTRACT:
The invention features substantially pure nucleic acid sequences encoding wild-type or mutant serotonin retake transporter (SERT) polypeptides, as well as the polypeptides themselves. The invention also features methods for identifying modulators of the biological activity of a SERT and for identifying if such a modulator has a secondary target. In addition, the invention features methods for treating a condition in a subject.
