Problem
Dopamine neurons are characterized by the presence of dopamine transporter protein in the membrane of their axon terminals. Using the dopamine transporter protein and its DAT1 gene as an example, briefly describe the process of protein production from the gene (i.e., transcription, translation), transport of vesicles containing protein to the axon terminal (i.e., trafficking, molecular motors) and how a functional membrane protein is inserted into the axon terminal membrane.
