Sodium- and chloride-dependent glycine transporter 1, also known as glycine transporter 1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC6A9 gene which is promising therapeutic target for treatment of diabetes and obesity. ^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]

Selective inhibitors

Elevation of extracellular synaptic glycine concentration by blockade of GlyT1 has been hypothesized to potentiate NMDA receptor function in vivo and to represent a rational approach for the treatment of schizophrenia and cognitive disorders. Several drug candidates have reached clinical trials.^[9]

ASP2535^[10]
Bitopertin (RG1678), which has entered phase II trials for the treatment of schizophrenia^[11]
Iclepertin (BI 425809) by Boehringer Ingelheim which is thought to improve cognitive impairment due to schizophrenia
Org 25935 (Sch 900435)
PF-03463275 (in phase II trial)
Pesampator (PF-04958242) by Pfizer
Sarcosine which is thought to improve cognitive impairment due to schizophrenia

Pathological mutations

Mutations of the gene may cause a severe metabolic disorder discovered in 2016 and called glycine encephalopathy with normal serum glycine (OMIM 617301), also known as GlyT1 encephalopathy.
