Multimodal dynamics control activity of a glial glutamate transporter
2026-06-02
Abstract excerpt
Membrane transporters move polar solutes across lipid bilayers to regulate cellular metabolism, signaling, and drug distribution. These proteins operate via an alternating-access mechanism, cycling between extracellular-, intermediate-, and intracellular-facing conformations. The human excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (EAAT1) protects neurons from excitotoxic damage by mediating the uptake of glutamate and aspa...
