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
  • Additive hypotensive effects by the combination of Deserpidine and Nefazodone 

Recommended Action
      Management Caution and close monitoring for altered efficacy and safety are recommended if patients receive nefazodone with agents that can produce significant hypotension such as antihypertensive agents or vasodilators. Patients should be made aware of the possible side effects (e.g., dizziness, lightheadedness, orthostasis) and be cautioned about driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous tasks.
