EAAT2
The excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2) serves as the primary glutamate transporter in the human central nervous system, regulating extracellular glutamate concentrations and maintaining excitatory-inhibitory homeostasis[1]. Mechanistically, EAAT2 clears synaptic glutamate by uptake into astrocytes, facilitating recycling through glutamine synthesis[1]. Compared with related isoforms, such as EAAT1, EAAT2 exhibits higher expression in cortical and hippocampal astrocytes and displays greater transport capacity for excitatory neurotransmission[1]. Dysregulation of EAAT2 expression or localization contributes to neurodegenerative processes, with experimental models of Alzheimer's disease demonstrating altered EAAT2 distribution and correlation with cognitive deficits[1]. EAAT2-specific agonists or modulators have been employed in preclinical studies to restore glutamate homeostasis, providing neuroprotective effects and highlighting potential translational applications[1]. Therefore, EAAT2 functions as a key molecular target for studying synaptic excitatory control, neurodegeneration, and pharmacological modulation of glutamatergic signaling in disease-relevant contexts[1].

Dihydrokainic acid
0 ImagesDihydrokainic acid is a glutamate transporters (especially GLT1) inhibitor. Dihydrokainic acid targets GLT1 with high affinity, effectively inhibiting its transport function. Dihydrokainic acid exerts its effect by inhibiting the uptake of glutamate, leading to an increase in extracellular glutamate concentration, thereby affecting neuronal excitability and neurotransmission. Dihydrokainic acid is mainly applied in the field of neuroscience for research on glutamate-related neural functions, epilepsy, learning, and memory.
