SLC6A1, Official Symbol SLC6A1provided by HGNC Official Full Name solute carrier family 6 member 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:11042 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000157103 MIM:137165; AllianceGenome:HGNC:11042 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens 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.
