SLC1A7

SLC1A7 (Solute Carrier Family 1 Member 7): SLC1A7 is a high-affinity glutamate transporter, primarily involved in the clearance of glutamate from the synaptic cleft. Its role is crucial in preventing excitotoxicity, a condition where excessive glutamate causes neuronal damage. While less studied than other glutamate transporters, SLC1A7 contributes to the regulation of glutamatergic signaling, with potential implications for neurological conditions characterized by dysregulated glutamate neurotransmission....
