Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP03147
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 8698
Name Excitatory amino acid transporter 2
Synonyms
  1. Glutamate/aspartate transporter II
  2. Sodium-dependent glutamate/aspartate transporter 2
  3. Solute carrier family 1 member 2
Gene Name SLC1A2
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in sodium:dicarboxylate symporter activity
Specific 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
