Abstract excerpt
The sodium-coupled citrate transporter (NaCT, SLC13A5) mediates citrate uptake across the plasma membrane via an inward Na+ gradient. Mutations in SLC13A5 cause early infantile epileptic encephalopathy type-25 (EIEE25, SLC13A5 Epilepsy) due to impaired citrate uptake in neurons and astrocytes. Despite clinical identification of disease-causing mutations, underlying mechanisms and cures remain elusive. Here we...
