Abstract excerpt
The excitatory amino acid transporter EAAC1 is an electrogenic Na+ - and K+ -gradient-driven transporter. In addition, the transporter mediates in the presence of Na+ and glutamate an anion conductance uncoupled from the transport of the glutamate. The first two N-terminal domains, important for forming the conductance mode, are extracellularly bordered by positively charged arginine residues, R39 and R61, being...
