Millipore Chemicon Anti-Glutamate Transporter Guinea Pig Antibody, 50 uL Net Content, Polyclonal, C-Terminus Epitope, Guinea Pig Host Species, Serum, Liquid Form, -20 deg C, Human, Mouse, Rat Species Reactivity. Glutamate transporters (GluT) function to remove L-glutamate (Glu), the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), from the synaptic cleft. By clearing the synapse in this manner Glu can be recycled for later use, the proper diffusion gradient can be maintained and excitotoxicity can be prevented. There have been reports of many different members of a GluT multigene family, GLT1, GLAST, EAAC1 and EAAT2. mRNA has been identified in brain for each of these proteins (Additional S&H or Hazmat Fees May Apply) - Mill
