Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in substantia nigra. Expressed in axonal varicosities in dopaminergic nerve terminals (at protein level). Expressed in the striatum (at protein level). |
Function | Mediates sodium- and chloride-dependent transport of dopamine. Also mediates sodium- and chloride-dependent transport of norepinephrine (also known as noradrenaline). Regulator of light-dependent retinal hyaloid vessel regression, downstream of OPN5 signaling. |
