Anti-EAAT3

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Excitatory amino acid transporter 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC1A1 gene. By Southern analysis of a panel of human/rodent somatic cell hybrids and by fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH), this gene is mapped to 9p24.2. This gene encodes a member of the high-affinity glutamate transporters that play an essential role in transporting glutamate across plasma membranes. In brain, these transporters are crucial in terminating the postsynaptic action of the neurotransmitter glutamate, and in maintaining extracellular glutamate concentrations below neurotoxic levels. EAAT3 also transports aspartate, and mutations in this gene are though to cause dicarboxylicamino aciduria, also known as glutamate-aspartate transport defect. Protein function: Sodium-dependent, high-affinity amino acid transporter that mediates the uptake of L-glutamate and also L-aspartate and D-aspartate (PubMed:12119102, PubMed:18684713). Can also transport L-cysteine (PubMed:30840898). Functions as a symporter that transports one amino acid molecule together with two or three Na(+) ions and one proton, in parallel with the counter-transport of one K(+) ion. Mediates Cl(-) flux that is not coupled to amino acid transport, this avoids the accumulation of negative charges due to aspartate and Na(+) symport. Plays an important role in L-glutamate and L-aspartate reabsorption in renal tubuli (PubMed:9233792). Plays a redundant role in the rapid removal of released glutamate from the synaptic cleft, which is essential for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate (PubMed:9233792). Contributes to glutathione biosynthesis and protection against oxidative stress via its role in L-glutamate and L- cysteine transport (PubMed:30840898). Negatively regulated by ARL6IP5 (PubMed:12119102). [The UniProt Consortium]
