Scientific Background

Glast, also known as EAAT1. EAAT1 (SLC1A3) is a member of a family of high-affinity sodium-dependent transporter molecules that regulate neurotransmitter concentrations at the excitatory glutamatergic synapses of the mammalian central nervous system. human GLAST1 gene contains 10 exons spanning at least 85 kb. EAAT1 gene is mapped to chromosome 5p13. GLAST is required for normal signal transmission between photoreceptors and bipolar cells and that both GLAST and GLT-1 play a neuroprotective role during ischemia in the retina. Mutation in the glutamate transporter EAAT1 causes episodic ataxia, hemiplegia, and seizures.
