Excitatory amino acid transporter 2

SLC1A2 is also known as EAAT2 or GLT-1. This gene encodes a member of a family of solute transporter proteins. The membrane-bound protein is the principal transporter that clears the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate from the extracellular space at synapses in the central nervous system. Glutamate clearance is necessary for proper synaptic activation and to prevent neuronal damage from excessive activation of glutamate receptors. Mutations in and decreased expression of this protein are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been identified.

Each vial contains 4 mg Trehalose, 0.9 mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05 mg NaN3.

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

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.
