2.A.22.3.8
Mouse GABA, β-alanine, fluoro-β-alanine and taurine transporter-3 (GAT3) (Liu et al. 1999). Orthologous to rat and human GAT2; 72% identical to GAT4 (2.A.22.3.7) (takes up GABA with high affinity into presynaptic terminals). Also takes up the carnitine precursor, gamma-butyrobetaine (Nakanishi et al., 2011).
