| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables gamma-aminobutyric acid:sodium:chloride symporter activity. Involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid import and neurotransmitter reuptake. Located in axon; neuronal cell body; and plasma membrane. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; nervous system; respiratory system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Used to study schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence and myoclonic-atonic epilepsy. Orthologous to human SLC6A1 (solute carrier family 6 member 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous hypomorphic mice display abnormal inhibitory postsynaptic currents, and abnormal GABA uptake and release. Null mice show hyperactivity and various behavioral abnormalities, as well as an aversion to bitter taste. [provided by MGI curators] |
