Transporteur
Gary Rudnick, in xPharm: The Comprehensive Pharmacology Reference, 2007. Serotonin Transporter (SERT) is a member of the Neurotransmitter-Sodium Symporter (NSS) family and is closely related to transporters for norepinephrine and dopamine, NET, and DAT, respectively.The function of SERT is to take up serotonin (5-HT) released by the activity of serotonergic neurons. A transporter is a fictional teleportation machine used in the Star Trek universe. Transporters convert a person or object into an energy pattern (a process called 'dematerialization'), then 'beam' it to a target location, where it is reconverted into matter ('rematerialization'). The term 'transporter accident' is a catch-all term for when a person or object does not rematerialize correctly.
