SLC1A4 and Serine Homeostasis: Implications for Neurodevelopmental and Neurodegenerative Disorders
2025-01-31
Abstract excerpt
The solute carrier family 1 member 4 (SLC1A4) gene encodes a neutral amino acid transporter, also referred to as alanine-serine-cysteine transporter 1, ASCT1, that helps maintain amino acid balance in the brain and periphery. In the brain, SLC1A4 plays important roles in transporting levo(L) and dopa(D) isomers of serine. L-serine is required for many cellular processes, including protein and sphingolipid synthesi...
