Transporters for L‐glutamate: An update on their molecular pharmacology and pathological involvement

Open access
Beart, P M, O'Shea, R D·2007·British Journal of Pharmacology

Abstract

L‐Glutamate (Glu) is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian CNS and five types of high‐affinity Glu transporters (EAAT1–5) have been identified. The transporters EAAT1 and EAAT2 in glial cells are responsible for the majority of Glu uptake while neuronal EAATs appear to have specialized roles at particular types of synapses. Dysfunction of EAATs is specifically implicated in the pathology of neurodegenerative conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, epilepsy, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease and ischemic stroke injury, and thus treatments that can modulate EAAT function may prove beneficial in these conditions. Recent advances have been made in our understanding of the regulation of EAATs, including their trafficking, splicing and post‐translational modification. This article summarises some recent developments that improve our understanding of the roles and regulation of EAATs. British Journal of Pharmacology(2007)150, 5–17. doi:10.1038/sj.bjp.0706949

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
