1. Association of Anxiety-Related Traits with a Polymorphism in the Serotonin Transporter Gene Regulatory RegionScience · 1996 · 5,200 citations

   Transporter-facilitated uptake of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) has been implicated in anxiety in humans and animal models and is the site of action of widely used uptake-inhibiting antidepressant and antianxiety drugs. Human 5-HT transporter (5-HTT) gene transcription is modulated by…

2. Allelic Variation of Human Serotonin Transporter Gene ExpressionJournal of Neurochemistry · 1996 · 2,238 citations

   Mood, emotion, cognition, and motor functions as well as circadian and neuroendocrine rhythms, including food intake, sleep, and reproductive activity, are modulated by the midbrain raphe serotonin (5-HT) system. By directing the magnitude and duration of postsynaptic responses, carrier-facilitated 5-HT…
