Glutamate uptake & transport

Glutamate transport is mediated by a family of transmembrane proteins known as glutamate transporters, or excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs). EAATs are sodium- and potassium-dependent members of the Solute Carrier Family 1 (SLC1). The five EAAT subtypes are EAAT1 (Excitatory amino acid transporter 1 / SLC1A3) , EAAT2 (Excitatory amino acid transporter 2 / SLC1A2), EAAT3 (Excitatory amino acid transporter 3 / SLC1A1), EAAT4 (Excitatory amino acid transporter 4 / SLC1A6) and EAAT5 (Excitatory amino acid transporter 5 / SLC1A7). Researchers can save up to 50% on EAAT inhibitors, activators and modulators from Hello Bio - they are up to half the price of other suppliers.
