The ER export motifs RI are indicated in bold, the residues proposed [19] determine binding of SEC24C (lysine) and SEC24D (valine) are indicated in bold underlined type. Multiple sequence alignment was performed with use of T-coffee programme [32]. The accession numbers for rat ATB0,+ - NM_001037544, for human SERT - NP_001036 and for human GAT1 - NP_003033.
