glial GAT-3 transporters are downregulated while neuronal GAT-1 function remains normal in dopamine-depleted rodents.
Title: GAT-3 Dysfunction Generates Tonic Inhibition in External Globus Pallidus Neurons in Parkinsonian Rodents.
Increases in GAT-3 activity result in astrocytic Na+ accumulation and a consequent increase in astrocytic Ca2+ through Na+/Ca2+ exchange, leading to the astrocytic release of ATP/adenosine.
Title: Astrocytic GABA transporter activity modulates excitatory neurotransmission.
Expression of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter GAT-3 was selectively decreased within the amygdala of alcohol-choosing rats, whereas a knockdown of this transcript reversed choice preference of rats that originally chose a sweet solution over alcohol.
Title: A molecular mechanism for choosing alcohol over an alternative reward.
Study provides a quantitative analysis of the subcellular distribution of GAT-1 and GAT-3 in cerebral cortex, and a detailed description of their ultrastructural localization at GABAergic synapses.
Title: A quantitative analysis of cellular and synaptic localization of GAT-1 and GAT-3 in rat neocortex.
Gat-3 acts synergistically with Gat-1 in the immature hippocampus to regulate excitability.
Title: Inhibition of different GABA transporter systems is required to attenuate epileptiform activity in the CA3 region of the immature rat hippocampus.
Astrocytic GAT-3 contributes to the regulation of extracellular GABA in the hippocampus in vivo and may play an important role in controlling the excitability of hippocampal cells when network activity is increased.
Title: A functional role for both -aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter-1 and GABA transporter-3 in the modulation of extracellular GABA and GABAergic tonic conductances in the rat hippocampus.
This study provides evidence that the GAT-3-mediated regulation of extracellular GABA can modulate glutamatergic transmission at the subthalamopallidal synapse in the rat globus pallidus.
Title: GABA transporter subtype 1 and GABA transporter subtype 3 modulate glutamatergic transmission via activation of presynaptic GABA(B) receptors in the rat globus pallidus.
Data indicate that GAT-1 and GAT-3 represent different target sites through which GABA reuptake may subserve complementary regulation of GABAergic transmission in the rat globus pallidus.
Title: Differential localization and function of GABA transporters, GAT-1 and GAT-3, in the rat globus pallidus.
Excessive expression of GAT-1 as well as GAT-3 and GABA receptor alpha1 subunits in hippocampal tremor may provide the potential therapeutic targets for genetic epilepsy.
Title: Up-regulation of GABA transporters and GABA(A) receptor α1 subunit in tremor rat hippocampus.
We found a significant downregulation of the GABA transporter GAT3 in congenital learned helplessness rats.
Title: Reduced expression of GABA transporter GAT3 in helpless rats, an animal model of depression.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
