|
| Function |
Transports L-glutamate; the L-glutamate uptake is sodium- and voltage-dependent and chloride-independent. Its associated chloride conductance may participate in visual processing.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed primarily in retina. Detectable in liver, heart, muscle and brain.
|
| Top Pathways |
Glutamatergic synapse
