function:Terminates the action of glycine by its high affinity sodium-dependent reuptake into presynaptic terminals. May play a role in regulation of glycine levels in NMDA receptor-mediated neurotransmission.,similarity:Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) family.,tissue specificity:All GLYT-1 subtypes can be found in brain, kidney, pancreas, lung, placenta, liver. But GLYT-1C subtype is only found in the brain.,
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Isoform GlyT-1A and isoform GlyT-1B can be found in brain, kidney, pancreas, lung, placenta and liver but isoform GlyT-1C is only found in brain.
