PCT No. PCT/US93/01959 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 19, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 19, 1994 PCT Filed Mar. 4, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/18143 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 16, 1993This invention provides isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding two mammalian GABA transporters, a mammalian taurine transporter and two human GABA transporters and methods of isolating these nucleic acid molecules. Further provided are vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecules as well as mammalian cells comprising such vectors, and antibodies directed to the GABA and taurine transporters. Nucleic acid probes useful for detecting nucleic acid molecules encoding GABA and taurine transporters are also provided. Antisense oligonucleotides complementary to any sequences of a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a GABA or taurine transporter are further provided. Pharmaceutical compounds related to GABA and taurine transporters are provided. Nonhuman transgenic animals which express DNA encoding a normal or a mutant GABA or taurine transporter are also provided. Further provided are methods for determining substrate binding, detecting expression, drug screening, and treatments for alleviating abnormalities associated with GABA and taurine transporters. |
