Excitatory amino-acid transporters (EAATs) terminate glutamate's actions and thus maintain proper neuronal function. These proteins are expressed in vast quantities by glia, but are also present ...

Mammalian excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) are responsible for clearing the neurotransmitter glutamate from the synaptic cleft (for review see Grewer et al., 2014; Takahashi et al., 2015; ...
