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.

Subunit structure

Homotrimer By similarity. Interacts with AJUBA By similarity.

Subcellular location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Tissue specificity

Isoform GLT1 is expressed in the brain. Isoforms GLT-1A and GLT-1B are expressed in the liver.

Post-translational modification

Glycosylated.

Palmitoylation at Cys-38 is not required for correct subcellular localization, but is important for glutamate uptake activity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the sodium:dicarboxylate (SDF) symporter (TC 2.A.23) family. SLC1A2 subfamily. [View classification]

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform Glt-1 (identifier: P43006-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform Glt-1A (identifier: P43006-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-6: MASTEG → MVS
Isoform Glt-1B (identifier: P43006-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-6: MASTEG → MVS
     551-572: TLAANGKSADCSVEEEPWKREK → PFPFLDIETCI
