Target General Infomation
Target ID
T95438
Former ID
TTDNR00670
Target Name
Excitatory amino acid transporter 2
Gene Name
SLC1A2
Synonyms
Glutamate/aspartatetransporter II; Sodium-dependent glutamate/aspartate transporter 2; Solute carrier family 1 member 2; SLC1A2
Target Type
Research
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.
BioChemical Class
Dicarboxylate amino acid:cation symporter
