Quantitative gene expression of two types of glycine transporter in the rat central nervous system

Abstract:
Nuclease protection assays were performed to determine the levels of gene expression for the glycine transporters (GLY(T)), GLY(T)-1a, GLY(T)-1b and GLY(T)-2 in select regions of rat CNS. Results showed regional differences in GLY(T)-1a and GLY(T)-1b gene expression throughout the central nervous system (CNS) whereas GLY(T)-2 was predominantly expressed in the caudal brain. Although the distribution of GLY(T) correlates with the regional distribution of the glycine and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, areas shown to be highly susceptible to acute ischemia consistently showed low levels of GLY(T) mRNAs.
