The sigma-1 receptor modulates methamphetamine dysregulation of dopamine neurotransmission

The dopamine transporter (DAT), a regulator of dopamine homeostasis in the brain, and sigma-1 receptor (σ1R), an endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein, are both implicated in drug addiction. In this work, the authors investigate how σ1R modulates DAT response to methamphetamine.
