EAAT3 also known as Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 3 or SLC1A1 is a protein that transports amino acids particularly glutamate across cellular membranes. EAAT3 has a mass of approximately 57 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues including the brain and kidneys. In neurons it accumulates glutamate into the cells which is important for maintaining synaptic transmission balance and preventing excitotoxic damage.
Biological function summary
EAAT3 functions to regulate extracellular levels of glutamate an essential neurotransmitter. The transporter prevents excessive accumulation of glutamate in the synaptic cleft promoting synaptic efficiency and neuron communication. EAAT3 operates as part of a larger family of transporters including EAAT1 EAAT2 and others that collectively maintain glutamate homeostasis in the central nervous system.
Pathways
EAAT3 engages in neurotransmitter metabolism and the glutamatergic synapse. It collaborates with EAAT2 in similar pathways. Together they ensure that excess glutamate is absorbed and reused or degraded safeguarding against excitotoxicity. These pathways are critical for maintaining neuronal health and function.
EAAT3 has links to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and epilepsy. EAAT3 dysfunction or altered expression can lead to imbalance in neurotransmitter levels contributing to these conditions. Changes in EAAT2 a related transporter also have implications in these disorders. Understanding these interactions helps in exploring EAAT3 as a possible therapeutic target.
