Western blot analysis was performed on extracts from Hela (lane 1, 20 μg), K562 (lane 2, 20 μg),SH-SY5Y (lane 3, 20 μg), U87MG (lane 4, 20 μg) and PC-12 (lane 5, 20 μg) using EAAT2 Rabbit mAb.Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% non - fat milk in TBST at 4°C overnight.The primary antibody (1:1000 dilution) and the loading control antibody (beta-Actin, HY-P83730, 1:5000 dilution) were incubated in 5% non-fat milk in TBST for 1 hour at 37°C.Goat Anti - Mouse/Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody (1:20000 dilution) was then applied for 40 minutes at 37°C.
Background

Function
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].
