Summary

Official Symbol: SLC6A1provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: solute carrier family 6 member 1provided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:11042

Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: MAE; GAT1; GABATR; hGAT-1; GABATHG
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 See more

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.
