Abstract
The present invention relates to materials and methods for the identification of agents that regulate glycine transport in or out of cells, particularly in or out of neuronal and neuronal-associated cells. Such materials include non-mammalian cells having transfected therein a glycine transporter. The methods relate to the manipulation of such cells such that agents are identified that cause intake or outflow of glycine with respect to a given glycine transporter.
