GAT-1, which is predominantly presynaptically located, is the major GABA transporter in the hippocampus under baseline, quiescent conditions.
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.
we report the identification of a unique amino acid motif in the vesicular GABA transporter (VGAT) that controls its synaptic localization and activity-dependent recycling
Title: Sorting of the vesicular GABA transporter to functional vesicle pools by an atypical dileucine-like motif.
The results demonstrate a malfunction of GAT-1 in thalamic astrocytes of a well-established genetic model of absence epilepsy, and indicate that this abnormality is not a reflection of a general pathology affecting all astrocytic functions.
Title: Astrocytic GABA transporter GAT-1 dysfunction in experimental absence seizures.
This study provides evidence that the GAT-1-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.
BDNF enhances the time span of GAT-1 molecules at the plasma membrane of astrocytes.
Title: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) enhances GABA transport by modulating the trafficking of GABA transporter-1 (GAT-1) from the plasma membrane of rat cortical astrocytes.
These experiments confirmed that, when a high concentration of GABA is present in the cytoplasm, GAT1 can operate in reverse mode. The reverse transport was affected by the the internal concentrations of Na+ and Cl-.
Title: GABA reverse transport by the neuronal cotransporter GAT1: influence of internal chloride depletion.
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 potential therapeutic targets for genetic epilepsy.
Title: Up-regulation of GABA transporters and GABA(A) receptor α1 subunit in tremor rat hippocampus.
The GABA transporter GAT-1 is upregulated with no change in GAT-3 or glutamate transporters.

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.
