SLC6A1 solute carrier family 6 member 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 6529)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 6529)
Symbol: SLC6A1
Full name: solute carrier family 6 member 1
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: GABATHG; GABATR; GAT1; MAE; hGAT-1
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]
Expression: Biased expression in brain (RPKM 26.6), liver (RPKM 15.1) and 2 other tissues
Orthologs: mouse
Gene size: 46500bp
Exon count: 17
