Anti-Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 1 [2G7c2] - 100 μg

Excitatory amino-acid transporters (EAATs), also known as glutamate transporters, belong to the family of neurotransmitter transporters. EAATs serve to terminate the excitatory signal by removal of glutamate from the neuronal synapse into neuroglia and neurons. After glutamate is released as the result of an action potential, glutamate transporters quickly remove it from the extracellular space to keep its levels low, thereby terminating the synaptic transmission. The activity of glutamate transporters also allows glutamate to be recycled for repeated release. Glutamate transporters also transport aspartate and are present in virtually all peripheral tissue. They exhibit stereoselectivity for L-glutamate but transport both L- and D-aspartate.
