Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of the catecholamine neurotransmitter dopamine into a cell. The directed movement of dopamine into a cell, typically presynaptic neurons or glial cells. Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter and a metabolic precursor of noradrenaline and adrenaline. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of dopamine into a cell. The directed movement of dopamine into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter and a metabolic precursor of noradrenaline and adrenaline. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of dopamine into a cell. The directed movement of neurotransmitters into neurons or glial cells. This process leads to inactivation and recycling of neurotransmitters. It does not occur during cholinergic synaptic transmission. Instead, acetylcholine is enzymatically degraded in the synaptic cleft. The process of communication from a neuron to another neuron across a synapse using the neurotransmitter dopamine. The directed movement of catecholamines, a group of physiologically important biogenic amines that possess a catechol (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) nucleus and are derivatives of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine. The uptake of catecholamine neurotransmitters by neurons or glial cells. This process leads to inactivation and recycling of neurotransmitters. The process of communication from a neuron to another neuron across a synapse.
