GABA transporter type 1
GABA transporter 1 (GAT1) also known as sodium- and chloride-dependent GABA transporter 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC6A1 gene and belongs to the solute carrier 6 (SLC6) family of transporters.[5][6][7] It mediates gamma-aminobutyric acid's translocation from the extracellular to intracellular spaces within brain tissue and the central nervous system as a whole.[8][9]
Structure
GAT1 is a 599 amino acid protein that consists of 12 transmembrane domains with an intracellular N-terminus and C-terminus.[10][11]
Function
GAT1 is a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter, which removes GABA from the synaptic cleft by shuttling it to presynaptic neurons (where GABA can be recycled) and astrocytes (where GABA can be broken down).[12][13] GABA Transporter 1 uses energy from the dissipation of a Na+ gradient, aided by the presence of a Cl− gradient, to translocate GABA across CNS neuronal membranes. The stoichiometry for GABA Transporter 1 is 2 Na+: 1 Cl−: 1 GABA.[14] The presence of a Cl−/Cl− exchange is also proposed because the Cl− transported across the membrane does not affect the net charge.[15] GABA is also the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the cerebral cortex and has the highest level of expression within it.[16] The GABA affinity (Km) of the mouse isoform of GAT1 is 8 μM.[17]
Clinical significance
Research has shown that schizophrenia patients have GABA synthesis and expression altered, leading to the conclusion that GABA Transporter-1, which adds and removes GABA from the synaptic cleft, plays a role in the development of neurological disorders such as schizophrenia.[18][19]
Interactions
SLC6A1 has been shown to interact with STX1A.[20][21][22]
