SLC6A1 - solute carrier family 6 member 1 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as MAE; GAT1; GABATR; hGAT-1; GABATHG

Gene ID: 6529 | Gene type: protein coding

About SLC6A1

Cytogenetic location: 3p25.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:10,992,748-11,039,247 (from NCBI)

This gene has 42 transcripts (splice variants), 281 orthologues, 19 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 26.6), liver (RPKM 15.1) and 2 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter that localizes to the plasma membrane. The encoded protein removes GABA from the synaptic cleft, restoring it to presynaptic terminals. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]
