Abstract
The dopamine transporter was discovered as a unique transporter entity in the late 1960’s (Glowinski and Iversen, 1966; Snyder and Coyle, 1969). The next two decades were spent largely dealing with the pharmacology of the transporter, but progress was made regarding its molecular nature and in the development of binding ligands. Late in 1980, it became clear that the transporter was an important target or “receptor” for cocaine (Ritz et al., 1987; Bergman et al., 1989) and irreversible photolabeling probes began a productive study of its molecular nature (Grigoriadis et al., 1989).
