GABA transporter type 1
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GABA transporter 1 (GAT1) also known as sodium- and chloride-dependent GABA transporter 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC6A1 gene and belongs to the solute carrier 6 (SLC6) family of transporters.[5][6][7] It mediates gamma-aminobutyric acid's translocation from the extracellular to intracellular spaces within brain tissue and the central nervous system as a whole.[8][9]
