Two membrane-localized transporter proteins (GLYT1 and GLYT2) are responsible for removal of extracellular glycine in the mammalian CNS. Whereas GLYT1 seems to be expressed mainly in glial cells, GLYT2 is neuronal. The highest concentrations of both transporters are found in glycinergic areas of the
