Background InformationThe activity of the main glutamate transporter in the CNS, Excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (also known as GLT1), can be regulated by protein kinase C (PKC). It is known that activation of PKC by phorbol esters promotes the clathrin-dependent internalization of the transporter, followed by its lysosomal degradation. However, the molecular mechanisms that link PKC activation and the internalization of the excitatory amino acid transporter 2 are not fully understood. The internalization process may play a role in the ubiquitylation of lysine residues located in the C-terminal tail of the excitatory amino acid transporter 2. Exposure to PMA increases the ubiquitylation of the excitatory amino acid transporter 2 in transfected cells and in the rat brain, and this ubiquitylated excitatory amino acid transporter 2 accumulates in the intracellular compartment. The activation of PKC induces the ubiquitylation of these C-terminal lysine residues in the Excitatory amino acid transporter 2 and this modification mediates the interaction of the transporter with the endocytic machinery.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a member of a family of solute transporter proteins. The membrane-bound protein is the principal transporter that clears the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate from the extracellular space at synapses in the central nervous system. Glutamate clearance is necessary for proper synaptic activation and to prevent neuronal damage from excessive activation of glutamate receptors. Mutations in and decreased expression of this protein are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full-length nature is not known.
Gene Symbol
  • SLC1A2
  • EAAT2
