that the deletion of VIAAT in GlyT2-Cre expressing neurons also strongly affects GABAergic transmission
Title: Genetic ablation of VIAAT in glycinergic neurons causes a severe respiratory phenotype and perinatal death.
Results suggest that the excessive GAT-1 and GlyT-1/2 heterotransporter-mediated Glu release, in the spinal cord of SOD1(G93A) mice, is due to the heterotransporter over-expression at the nerve terminal membrane, promoted by the excessive Glu exocytosis
Title: Exocytosis regulates trafficking of GABA and glycine heterotransporters in spinal cord glutamatergic synapses: a mechanism for the excessive heterotransporter-induced release of glutamate in experimental amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Report that in the presence of a GlyT2 mechanism-based toxicity, reversible inhibitors might allow a tolerable balance between efficacy and toxicity.
Title: Reversible inhibition of the glycine transporter GlyT2 circumvents acute toxicity while preserving efficacy in the treatment of pain.
These alterations in the activities and expression profiles of the GlyTs suggest that the contributions of GlyT1 and GlyT2 to the regulation of extracellular glycine concentrations at glycinergic synapses changes during development.
Title: Transport activities and expression patterns of glycine transporters 1 and 2 in the developing murine brain stem and spinal cord.
Data show that the GlyT2 protein is undetectable in homozygous mutants, indicating a null allele.
Title: A MusD retrotransposon insertion in the mouse Slc6a5 gene causes alterations in neuromuscular junction maturation and behavioral phenotypes.
In the first postnatal week, loss of the glycine transporter 2 is neither compensated by glycine de-novo synthesis nor by up-regulation of the GABAergic transmission in GlyT2(-/-) mice.
Title: Development of synaptic inhibition in glycine transporter 2 deficient mice.
our results demonstrate the central role played by GlyT2 in determining inhibitory phenotype and therefore in the physiology and pathology of inhibitory circuits.
Title: The glycine transporter GlyT2 controls the dynamics of synaptic vesicle refilling in inhibitory spinal cord neurons.
These data indicate that the C-terminal PDZ-ligand motif of GlyT2 plays an important role in transporter trafficking to and/or stabilization at synaptic sites.
Title: The C-terminal PDZ-ligand motif of the neuronal glycine transporter GlyT2 is required for efficient synaptic localization.
Glyt2-mediated release of glycine from axon terminals involves exocytosis triggered by intraterminal mitochondrial Ca2+ ions.

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.
