GATMD: γ-Aminobutyric Acid Transporter Mutagenesis Database
Since the cloning of the first γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter (GAT1; SLC6A1) from rat brain in 1990, more than 50 published studies have provided structure-function information on investigator-designed rat and mouse GAT1 mutants. To date, more than 200 of 599 GAT1 residues have been subjected to mutagenesis experiments by substitution with different amino acids, and the resulting transp...
متن کاملTransgenic mice overexpressing the 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter gene in smooth muscle develop pulmonary hypertension.
One intrinsic abnormality of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PA-SMCs) in human idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (iPH) is an exaggerated proliferative response to internalized serotonin (5-HT) caused by increased expression of the 5-HT transporter (5-HTT). To investigate whether 5-HTT overexpression in PA-SMCs is sufficient to produce PH, we generated transgenic mice overexpressing 5-HTT ...
متن کاملTransgenic mice overexpressing reticulon 3 develop neuritic abnormalities.
Dystrophic neurites are swollen dendrites or axons recognizable near amyloid plaques as a part of important pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We report herein that reticulon 3 (RTN3) is accumulated in a distinct population of dystrophic neurites named as RTN3 immunoreactive dystrophic neurites (RIDNs). The occurrence of RIDNs is concomitant with the formation of high-molecular-w...
متن کاملHyperleptinemia precipitates diet-induced obesity in transgenic mice overexpressing leptin.
Transgenic mice overexpressing leptin backcrossed to the C57BL/6J genetic background (LepTg) have a lean phenotype, characterized by a 95% reduction in adipose mass; reduced plasma levels of glucose, triglycerides, insulin, and IGF-1; and a 75% decrease in adipocyte size. High-fat diet treatment for 20 wk revealed that, compared with normal mice, the LepTg mice had an increased susceptibility t...
متن کاملGalanin overexpressing transgenic mice.
Galanin overexpressing transgenic mice (GAL-tg) were generated on two different promoters. Both lines of GAL-tg displayed high levels of galanin in the hippocampus and reduced sensitivity to seizures, as compared to their respective wildtype littermate controls (WT). Performance deficits on learning and memory tasks, impaired long-term potentiation, reduced hippocampal excitability, lower evoke...
