The neurotransmitter transporters belong to three known families of intrinsic membrane proteins (Figure 1). The energy for transport, which is often against the neurotransmitter concentration gradient, is derived from the cotransport (and in some cases the countertransport) of inorganic ions. Ion-transporting ATPases establish the concentration gradients for these ions. Our initial classification is based on hydropathy analyses of primary amino acid sequences and on subcellular localization (Figure 1). However, we are also interested in relationships based on functional aspects, which we gather under the term permeation by analogy with similar aspects of ion channels (1, 2). For example, mammalian serotonin 5-hydroxytryptaminc (5-HT) transporters, which we classify as Type 1, share little homology with the cloned glutamate transporters. Nonetheless, like the glutamate transporters (and unlike the other Type 1 transporters), the mammalian 5-HT transporter countertransports K+. Therefore, in a later section of this review, we tentatively assign the mammalian 5-HT transporters to their own Type 1 subtype. Other possible classifications depend on the nature of the countertransported ions, specificity for organic substrates, and electrogenicity (3-6). Rapid progress in the cloning of these molecules ensures that any
