Target data

Function

Sodium-dependent, high-affinity amino acid transporter that mediates the uptake of L-glutamate and also L-aspartate and D-aspartate (PubMed:7521911, PubMed:8123008, PubMed:20477940, PubMed:26690923, PubMed:28032905, PubMed:28424515). Functions as a symporter that transports one amino acid molecule together with two or three Na(+) ions and one proton, in parallel with the counter-transport of one K(+) ion (PubMed:20477940). Mediates Cl(-) flux that is not coupled to amino acid transport; this avoids the accumulation of negative charges due to aspartate and Na(+) symport (PubMed:20477940). Plays a redundant role in the rapid removal of released glutamate from the synaptic cleft, which is essential for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate (By similarity).

Notes

ab240235 is the carrier-free version of Anti-EAAT1 antibody [EPR12686] ab181036.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Supplementary info

Activity summary

EAAT1 also known as Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 1 or anti-GLAST plays a critical role in mediating the uptake of glutamate from the synaptic cleft into glial cells. This transporter helps maintain the delicate balance of excitatory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. EAAT1 has a molecular mass of approximately 57 kDa. You will find EAAT1 expressed predominantly in astrocytes within the brain and retina where it facilitates the regulation of extracellular concentrations of glutamate preventing excitotoxicity.

Biological function summary

EAAT1 is instrumental in maintaining low levels of extracellular glutamate acting as a protective mechanism against neurotoxicity. This transporter does not operate as part of a larger protein complex instead functioning independently to efficiently clear synaptic glutamate. By ensuring rapid uptake of glutamate EAAT1 helps maintain normal synaptic transmission and neuronal communication. The action of EAAT1 is important for preventing excessive activation of glutamate receptors which can lead to cellular damage.

Pathways

EAAT1 is heavily involved in the glutamatergic neurotransmission pathway which is essential for various brain functions including learning and memory. EAAT1 acts in coordination with other proteins like EAAT2 to manage glutamate levels within the synaptic cleft. Another pathway where EAAT1 plays a role is the glutamate-glutamine cycle where it works alongside proteins such as glutamine synthetase to recycle glutamate and sustain neurotransmitter balance. This interplay supports neuronal health and protects against glutamate excitotoxicity.

Associated diseases and disorders

EAAT1 has been implicated in neurological conditions such as epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. The dysfunction or altered expression of EAAT1 can lead to insufficient glutamate clearance contributing to the pathophysiology of these disorders. In epilepsy the decreased function of EAAT1 may result in abnormally high levels of synaptic glutamate enhancing the risk of seizures. Similarly in Alzheimer's altered EAAT1 activity can exacerbate neurodegenerative processes. EAAT1's role is tightly linked with proteins like NMDA receptors and EAAT2 which further influence disease progression by affecting glutamate dynamics.
