Protein Family Major facilitator superfamily
Protein Function
Involved in the ATP-dependent vesicular transport of biogenic amine neurotransmitters. Pumps cytosolic monoamines including dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine into synaptic vesicles (PubMed:23363473). Requisite for vesicular amine storage prior to secretion via exocytosis.

      Mechanism Description
  • Antagonize the effect of Reserpine when combined with Diethylpropion 

Recommended Action
      Management alternatives to postganglionic adrenergic blocking agents should be considered in hypertensive patients treated with CNS stimulants. If the combination is used, blood pressure and heart rate should be monitored.
