Background
Glycine is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the spinal cord and brainstem. Two differentially expressed glycine transporters, GLYT 1 and GLYT 2, regulate the extracellular concentration of this neuroactive amino acid in the synaptic cleft.
GLYT 1 is expressed in both neurons as well as in glia with high expression levels in the main olfactory bulb, cerebellum, brainstem and spinal cord and low expression in other brain regions. It has been hypothesized to regulate glycine levels in NMDA receptor-mediated neurotransmission.
GLYT 2 shows an axonal localization and is mainly expressed in spinal cord, brain-stem and cerebellum.
