Protein attributes

Sequence length	542 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	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.
Subcellular location	Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue specificity	Highly expressed in cerebellum, but also found in frontal cortex, hippocampus and basal ganglia.
Post-translational modification	Glycosylated.
Involvement in disease	Defects in SLC1A3 are the cause of episodic ataxia type 6 (EA6) [MIM:612656]. EA6 is characterized by episodic ataxia, seizures, migraine and alternating hemiplegia. Ref.8
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the sodium:dicarboxylate (SDF) symporter (TC 2.A.23) family. SLC1A3 subfamily. [View classification]
