About this book

Rapidly growing interest in the role of organic cation transporters (OCTs) and plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT) in central monoamine homeostasis makes this book especially timely, given its thematic alignment with the role of OCTs and PMAT in CNS. This book discusses latest insights into the field laying an emphasis on health, disease and therapeutics.
