PMAT may refer to:
*
Plasma membrane monoamine transporter
The plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT) is a low-affinity monoamine transporter protein which in humans is encoded by the ''SLC29A4'' gene. It is known alternatively as the human equilibrative nucleoside transporter-4 (hENT4). It was disc ...

* Four phases of
mitosis
Mitosis () is a part of the cell cycle in eukaryote, eukaryotic cells in which replicated chromosomes are separated into two new Cell nucleus, nuclei. Cell division by mitosis is an equational division which gives rise to genetically identic ...
:
prophase
Prophase () is the first stage of cell division in both mitosis and meiosis. Beginning after interphase, DNA has already been replicated when the cell enters prophase. The main occurrences in prophase are the condensation of the chromatin retic ...
,
metaphase
Metaphase ( and ) is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage (they are at their most condensed in anaphase). These chromosomes, carrying genetic information, alig ...
,
anaphase
Anaphase () is the stage of mitosis after the process of metaphase, when replicated chromosomes are split and the newly-copied chromosomes (daughter chromatids) are moved to opposite poles of the cell. Chromosomes also reach their overall maxim ...
, and
telophase
Telophase () is the final stage in both meiosis and mitosis in a eukaryotic cell. During telophase, the effects of prophase and prometaphase (the nucleolus and nuclear membrane disintegrating) are reversed. As chromosomes reach the cell poles, ...
:
** Prophase: Chromatin into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, chromosomes attach to spindle fibers by their centromeres.
** Metaphase: Chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate (center of the cell).
** Anaphase: Sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles of the cell.
** Telophase: Two new nuclear envelopes form, chromosomes unfold into chromatin, cytokinesis can begin.
** Cytokinesis: The process that finally splits the parent cell into two identical daughter cells.
