glutamate plasma membrane transport proteins - CISMeF
Glutamate plasma membrane transport proteinsMeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : glutamate plasma membrane transport proteins;
MeSH definition : A family of plasma membrane neurotransmitter transporter proteins that couple the
uptake of GLUTAMATE with the import of SODIUM ions and PROTONS and the export of POTASSIUM
ions. In the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM they regulate neurotransmission through synaptic
reuptake of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. Outside the central nervous
system they function as signal mediators and regulators of glutamate metabolism.;
