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. Negatively regulated by ARL6IP5 By similarity. Ref.2 Ref.3

Subunit structure

Interacts with ARL6IP5/PRAF3 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in all tissues tested including liver, muscle, testis, ovary, retinoblastoma cell line, neurons and brain (in which there was dense expression in substantia nigra, red nucleus, hippocampus and in cerebral cortical layers). Ref.1 Ref.2 Ref.3

Post-translational modification

Glycosylated.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the sodium:dicarboxylate (SDF) symporter (TC 2.A.23) family. SLC1A1 subfamily. [View classification]
