Summary: Enables gamma-aminobutyric acid:sodium:chloride symporter activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including gamma-aminobutyric acid import; negative regulation of GABAergic synaptic transmission; and positive regulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid secretion. Located in cell surface. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; postsynaptic membrane; and presynaptic membrane. Used to study brain ischemia. Biomarker of cerebral infarction; epilepsy; temporal lobe epilepsy; and withdrawal disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence and myoclonic-atonic epilepsy. Orthologous to human SLC6A1 (solute carrier family 6 member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

perturbation of the internal gate of GAT1 selectively impairs the gating mechanism of the empty transporter
Title: Internal gate mutants of the GABA transporter GAT1 are capable of substrate exchange.
Study demonstrated that GAT1 and GAT3 were expressed in glial cells but not at detectable levels in suprachiasmatic hypothalamic nucleus neurons

Epileptiform activity is associated with increased synaptic GABA release and is not accompanied by GAT-1 reversal. Sustained efflux of GABA through GAT-1 is unlikely to occur during physiological or pathological network activity.

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.
