PLASMA MEMBRANE TRANSPORTERS GAT-1 AND GAT-3 CONTRIBUTE TO HETEROGENEITY OF GABAERGIC SYNAPSES IN NEOCORTEX

PLASMA MEMBRANE TRANSPORTERS GAT-1 AND GAT-3 CONTRIBUTE TO HETEROGENEITY OF GABAERGIC SYNAPSES IN NEOCORTEX

Cortical GABAergic synapses exhibit a high degree of molecular, anatomical and functional heterogeneity of their neurons of origins, presynaptic mechanisms, receptors, and scaffolding proteins. GABA transporters (GATs) have an important role in regulating GABA levels; among them, GAT-1 and GAT-3 pla...
