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.

Political corruption is the use of power by government officials for illegitimate private gain. An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties, is done under color of law or involves trading in influence. Forms of corruption vary, but include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, patronage, graft, and embezzlement.
