2. GABA transporter type 1 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABA_transporter_type_1

   The stoichiometry for GABA Transporter 1 is 2 Na +: 1 Cl −: 1 GABA. [13] The presence of a Cl − /Cl − exchange is also proposed because the Cl − transported across the membrane does not affect the net charge. [14] GABA is also the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the cerebral cortex and has the highest level of expression within ...

3. GABA transporter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABA_transporter

   The signal is terminated by removal of GABA from the synaptic cleft by transport of GABA back into the nerve terminal by the plasma membrane GABA transporter (GAT) 1. GABA transporters in the plasma membrane help in regulating the concentration of GABA in the extracellular matrix by reabsorbing the transmitter and clearing the synapse.

4. Sodium- and chloride-dependent betaine transporter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-_and_chloride...

   Sodium- and chloride-dependent betaine transporter, also known as Na(+)/Cl(-) betaine/GABA transporter (BGT-1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC6A12 gene. BGT-1 is predominantly expressed in the liver (hepatocytes). [5] It is also expressed in the kidney [5] where it is regulated by NFAT5 during a response to osmotic stress. [6]

5. 4-aminobutyrate transaminase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-aminobutyrate_transaminase

   In enzymology, 4-aminobutyrate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.19), also called GABA transaminase or 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, or GABA-T, is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: 4-aminobutanoate + 2-oxoglutarate ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } succinate semialdehyde + L-glutamate

6. Glutamate–glutamine cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamate–glutamine_cycle

   The glutamate/GABA–glutamine cycle is a metabolic pathway that describes the release of either glutamate or GABA from neurons which is then taken up into astrocytes (non-neuronal glial cells). In return, astrocytes release glutamine to be taken up into neurons for use as a precursor to the synthesis of either glutamate or GABA.

7. Vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesicular_inhibitory_amino...

   Vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporter is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC32A1 gene. [5] The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine uptake into synaptic vesicles. The encoded protein is a member of amino acid/polyamine transporter family II. [5]

8. Neurotransmitter transporter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotransmitter_transporter

   Tiagabine, a drug used as an anticonvulsant, acts by inhibiting the GABA transporter 1. Neurotransmitter transporters inhibitors Vesicular transporters could provide an alternative therapeutic target for the modulation of chemical neurotransmission, as the activity of these transporters could affect the quantity of neurotransmitter released.

9. Cotransporter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotransporter

   SGLT1 is an electrogenic transporter as the sodium electrochemical gradient drives glucose uphill into the cells. SGLT1 is a high affinity Na + /glucose cotransporter that has an important role in transferring sugar across the epithelial cells of renal proximal tubules and of the intestine, in particular the small intestine.
