After release into the synaptic cleft the neurotransmitter


After release into the synaptic cleft, the neurotransmitter dopamine is actively taken up by the cells via specific dopamine transporters. The drug cocaine interferes with this process and is therefore called a reuptake inhibitor. The inhibition of the transporter at a certain cocaine concentration is qualitatively represented in the following graph. Based on this graph, which of the following describes the effect of cocaine on the kinetics of dopamine reuptake by the transporter?
