EAAT

EAAT

EAATs, or excitatory amino acid transporters, are the main extracellular glutamate transporters in the nervous system. In addition to demonstrating an impressive capacity to control extracellular glu concentrations in the environment, this family of five carriers (EAAT1-5) also exhibits the capacity to control the temporal and spatial profile of glu after vesicular release. Ionotropic and metabotropic receptor activation at the synaptic, perisynaptic, and spillover levels is mediated by this dynamic form of regulation. EAATs possess a thermodynamically uncoupled ligand gated anion channel activity in addition to a secondary active, electrogenic process, both of which have been shown to be important for controlling cellular activity.

In the removal of glutamate, the glial glutamate transporter EAAT2 is crucial. Transcriptional or translational activation can cause an upregulation of EAAT2. Potential targets for the treatment of excitotoxicity include EAAT2.
