2020, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Both are members of SLC6 family of sodium/chloride-dependent neurotransmitter transporters. They share 50 % homology in DNA and amino acid sequences; but they are differently expressed within the CNS (Guastella et al., 1992; López‐Corcuera et al., 1998) with distinct functions (Liu et al., 1993; Ponce et al., 1998; Smith et al., 1992). The current knowledge of GlyTs indicates an important role in several disorders such as epilepsy, hyperekplexia, neuropathic pain, drug addiction, schizophrenia, stroke and in neurodegenerative disorders.
Expression and purification of recombinant calpain-derived N-terminal peptides from glycine transporter GlyT2
2013, Protein Expression and PurificationCitation Excerpt :Two types of glycine transporters, GlyT11 and GlyT2, members of the family of sodium dependent neurotransmitter transporters [3,4], control the local brain glycine concentration [5–7]. In addition, species specific transporter subtypes GlyT1a, b, c as well as GlyT2a, b, c, exist as well which differ only in short alternating exons in the transporters N-terminal regions [8–10]. The absence of glycine transporters GlyT1 and GlyT2 is lethal [11,12] and their improper functioning results in serious neurological diseases.
