Loss of the psychiatric risk factor SLC6A15 is associated with increased metabolic functions in primary hippocampal neurons.
Title: Loss of the psychiatric risk factor SLC6A15 is associated with increased metabolic functions in primary hippocampal neurons.
Our study demonstrates a role for reduced Slc6a15, a neutral amino acid transporter, in nucleus accumbens (NAc) in depression and stress susceptibility. The reduction of Slc6a15 occurs selectively in the NAc D2-neurons. Genetic reduction of Slc6a15 induces susceptibility to a subthreshold stress, while genetic overexpression in D2-neurons prevents social avoidance after chronic social defeat stress.
Title: Reduced Slc6a15 in Nucleus Accumbens D2-Neurons Underlies Stress Susceptibility.
Slc6a15 plays a role in modulating emotional behavior, possibly mediated by its impact on glutamatergic neurotransmission.
Title: SLC6A15, a novel stress vulnerability candidate, modulates anxiety and depressive-like behavior: involvement of the glutamatergic system.
SLC6A15 regulates the activity of the brain glutamatergic system through the proline-glutamate biosynthesis pathway, affecting hippocampal neurochemistry and consequently behavior.
Title: The amino acid transporter SLC6A15 is a regulator of hippocampal neurochemistry and behavior.
Slc6a15 knockout mice demonstrate only modest alterations in rotarod performance with aging and lack reproducible alterations in other motor, memory, anxiety or olfactory tests
Title: Deletion of v7-3 (SLC6A15) transporter allows assessment of its roles in synaptosomal proline uptake, leucine uptake and behaviors.
The structure and function of B0AT2 are reported.
Title: The orphan transporter v7-3 (slc6a15) is a Na+-dependent neutral amino acid transporter (B0AT2).

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.
