Neurotransmitter transporters are a class of membrane transport proteins that span the cellular membranes of neurons.Their primary function is to carry neurotransmitters across these membranes and to direct their further transport to specific intracellular locations.There are more than twenty types of neurotransmitter transporters.or example, some transporters use energy obtained by the cotransport, or symport, of Na+ in order to move glutamate across membranes. Such neurotransporter cotransport systems are highly diverse, as recent development indicates that uptake systems are generally selective and associate with a specific neurotransmitter.

Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. Transparency means shedding light on shady deals, weak enforcement of rules and other illicit practices that undermine good governments, ethical businesses and society at large. Corruption corrodes the fabric of society. It undermines peopleâs trust in political and economic systems, institutions and leaders. It can cost people their freedom, health, money â and sometimes their lives.
