Abstract excerpt
Sodium-dependent glutamate uptake is essential for limiting excitotoxicity, and dysregulation of this process has been implicated in a wide array of neurological disorders. The majority of forebrain glutamate uptake is mediated by the astroglial glutamate transporter, GLT-1. We and others have shown that this transporter undergoes endocytosis and degradation in response to activation of protein kinase C (PKC),...
