Zusammenfassung: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.
