Summary
Enables cysteine transmembrane transporter activity; high-affinity L-glutamate transmembrane transporter activity; and monoatomic anion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including L-glutamate import across plasma membrane; cellular response to cocaine; and glutathione biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including L-glutamate transmembrane transport; monoatomic anion transmembrane transport; and positive regulation of D-glucose import. Located in several cellular components, including astrocyte projection; axolemma; and membrane raft. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 41. Orthologous to human SLC1A2 (solute carrier family 1 member 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
