Abstract

Radiation inactivation analysis of the mazindol-sensitive binding of the dopamine transporter inhibitor, [H-3]GBR-12935 to canine striatal membranes yielded a radiation inactivation target size of 278 +/- 16 kDa. This result, in conjunction with other findings in the literature demonstrating that the molecular mass of the dopamine transporter is similar to 70 kDa, suggests that the native form of the dopamine carrier in the neuronal membranes is a tetrameric assembly of identical 70 kDa subunits.
