Description
Mediates dihydrokainate-sensitive glutamate transport, may play a role in presynaptic terminal glutamate transport and synaptic transmission. FUNCTION: Transports L-glutamate and also L- and D-aspartate. Essential for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate by rapidly removing released glutamate from the synaptic cleft. Acts as a symport by cotransporting sodium. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane, Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Localized in brain and is highly enriched in the Purkinje cell layer in cerebellum, retina. Synonyms: Sodium-dependent glutamate/aspartate transporter 2, GLUT-R, GLT-1, Solute carrier family 1 member 2, Eaat2, Glt1
Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from aa region 5-50 of rat SLC1A2 conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the antigen.
