|
| Function |
Terminates the action of glycine by its high affinity sodium-dependent reuptake into presynaptic terminals. May be responsible for the termination of neurotransmission at strychnine-sensitive glycinergic synapses.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in medulla, and to a lesser extent in spinal cord and cerebellum.
