SLC1A2 (Solute Carrier Family 1 Member 2), glutamate transporters, also known as excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs), are sodium- and potassium- dependent members of the solute carrier family 6 (SLC1), widely distributed throughout the brain. These sodium-dependent, high-affinity amino acid transporter mediates the uptake of L-glutamate, L-aspartate, and D-aspartate functioning 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. It mediates the Cl (-) flux that is not coupled to amino acid transport avoiding the accumulation of negative charges due to aspartate and Na (+) symport. Eaat2 is essential for the rapid removal of released glutamate from the synaptic cleft, and for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate. Improper regulation of this gene is thought to be associated with several neurological disorders including Epileptic Encephalopathy, Early Infantile, 41 and Undetermined Early-Onset Epileptic Encephalopathy. Anti-Eaat2 Antibody is useful for researchers interested in transmembrane transporter activity, neuroscience research, and cell metabolism.
