ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding mammalian betaine/GABA transporters, including a human betaine/GABA transporter. This invention further provides vectors comprising said isolated nucleic acid molecules, and mammalian cells comprising such vectors. This invention further provides isolated mammalian and human betaine/GABA transporter proteins and antibodies directed thereto. This invention provides nucleic acid molecule probes useful for detecting nucleic acid molecules encoding mammalian or human betaine/GABA transporters, antisense oligonucleotides complementary to any sequences of a nucleic acid molecules which encode a mammalian or human betaine/GABA transporter. This invention further provides pharmaceutical compounds related to mammalian and human betaine/GABA transporters, and nonhuman transgenic animals which express DNA encoding a normal or a mutant mammalian or human betaine/GABA transporter. This invention further provides methods for determining substrate binding, detecting expression, drug screening, and treatments for alleviating abnormalities associated with mammalian betaine/GABA transporters and human betaine/GABA transporters.
