Abstract excerpt
Suppressed NMDA receptor (NMDAR) function contributes to multiple brain disorders, including schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and NMDAR encephalitis. Previous attempts to restore NMDAR activity by increasing ambient glycine, a critical co-agonist, through GlyT1 inhibition have yielded mixed outcomes, partly due to GlyT1's extensive expression in essential brainstem regions. Slc6a20a, a glycine...
