SLC1A3,EAAT1,GLAST,GLAST1,Excitatory amino acid transporter 1,Sodium-dependent glutamate/aspartate transporter 1,GLAST-1,Solute carrier family 1 member 3
Cell localization:Cell membrane.This gene encodes a member of a member of a high affinity glutamate transporter family. This gene functions in the termination of excitatory neurotransmission in central nervous system. Mutations are associated with episodic ataxia, Type 6. Alternative splicing resµLts in mµLtiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014],
