Localization and Function of GABA Transporters GAT-1 and GAT-3 In The Basal Ganglia

Localization and Function of GABA Transporters GAT-1 and GAT-3 In The Basal Ganglia

GABA-transporter type 1 and 3 (GAT-1 and GAT-3, respectively) are the two main subtypes of GATs responsible for the regulation of extracellular GABA levels in the central nervous system. These transporters are widely expressed in neuronal (mainly GAT-1) and glial (mainly GAT-3) elements throughout t...
