2.A.18.5.3
The vacuolar GABA and glycine uptake transporter, VGAT. Also called "vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporter" (VIAAT); it is a 2Cl-/γ-aminobutyrate or glycine co-transporter in synaptic vesicles (Juge et al., 2009). GlyT2 and VIAAT cooperate to determine the vesicular glycinergic phenotype (Aubrey et al., 2007).
