Slc1a6 - solute carrier family 1 member 6 Gene

Also Known as EAAT4

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 84012

Summary

Enables high-affinity glutamate transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in L-glutamate import across plasma membrane. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Part of membrane protein complex. Is active in parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse. Is integral component of postsynaptic membrane. Orthologous to human SLC1A6 (solute carrier family 1 member 6).
