Solute carrier family 1 (glial high affinity glutamate transporter), member 3, also known as SLC1A3, is a human gene.[1]

The GLutamate ASpartate Transporter (GLAST) is a protein in the inner mitochondrial membrane which is part of the malate-aspartate shuttle.[2] GLAST is also often called the Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 1 (EAAT1).

Contents

[edit] Mechanism

GLAST mediates the transport of glutamic and aspartic acid with the cotransport of three Na+ and one H+ cations and counter transport of one K+ cation. This co-transport coupling allows the transport of glutamate into cells against a concentration gradient.[3]

[edit] Tissue distribution

GLAST is highly expressed in astrocytes and Bergmann glia in the cerebellum.[4][5] In the retina, GLAST is expressed in Muller cells.[6] GLAST is also expressed in a number of other tissues including cardiac myocytes.[2]

[edit] Clinical significance

It is associated with type 6 episodic_ataxia.[7]
