Monoamine transporter function is also regulated by glycosylation. The large extracellular loop between TMH 111 and TMH IV of the monoamine transporters contains consensus sites for glycosylation (Melikian et al., 1994,1996). The glycosylated form of the transporter is the mature form that undergoes insertion into the plasma membrane (Sitte et al., 2004).
