Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have gained new insight into the mechanism behind a protein dopamine transporter that could help in the development of future medical treatment against cocaine addiction.
“If we have a better understanding of the dopamine transporter function we will become more proficient in developing an antidote against cocaine addiction,” says Associate Professor Claus Juul Loland from the department of Neuroscience and Pharmacology. Currently there is no available medical treatment for cocaine addiction.
The results have been published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
