receptors and transporters

Could anyone, please, explain what is a difference between receptors and transporters. 
I have lost intimate contact with neuroscience some years ago, and recently 
I've realised that some good old receptors (dopamine, serotonin and others) 
became transporters. Is it a new, fancy name for old receptor, or does it 
denotes some difference in function?

Thank you
Eva
