Synonyms | EAAT4 |
Function | Sodium-dependent, high-affinity amino acid transporter that mediates the uptake of L-glutamate and also L-aspartate and D-aspartate (PubMed:7791878, PubMed:26690923). Functions as a symporter that transports one amino acid molecule together with two or three Na(+) ions and one proton, in parallel with the counter-transport of one K(+) ion. Mediates Cl(-) flux that is not coupled to amino acid transport; this avoids the accumulation of negative charges due to aspartate and Na(+) symport (PubMed:7791878). Plays a redundant role in the rapid removal of released glutamate from the synaptic cleft, which is essential for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate (Probable). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Brain, mainly in the cerebellum (PubMed:7791878). Expressed densely and selectively in cell bodies of Purkinje cells |

Background
Transports L-glutamate and also L-and D-aspartate. Seems to act as a symport by cotransporting sodium.
