Abstract excerpt
Glutamate transporters are important for regulating extracellular glutamate levels, impacting neural function and metabolic homeostasis. This study explores the behavioral, lifespan, and proteomic profiles in Caenorhabditis elegans strains with either glt-4 or glt-5 null mutations, highlighting contrasting phenotypes. Δglt-4 mutants displayed impaired mechanosensory and chemotactic responses, reduced lifespans,...
