basic FUNCTION
| acting as a putative sodium-dependent amino acid/proton antiporter |
|
unique in being the first system N transporter expressed in GABAergic and also other neurons |
|
could have an important function for the reuptake and recycling of glutamate |
|
may play a role in sustaining the glutamate neurotransmitter pool in the brain through the glutamine-glutamate cycle |
|
has a role in pathways involved in both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission |
|
having a function as a sodium-coupled amino acid transport in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in the brain |
