Abstract excerpt
In the brain, the neurotransmitter glutamate is removed from the synaptic cleft by (Na(+) + K(+))-coupled transporters by an electrogenic process. Moreover, these transporters mediate a sodium- and glutamate-dependent uncoupled chloride conductance. In contrast to the wild type, the uptake of radiolabeled substrate by the I421C mutant is inhibited by the membrane-impermeant...
