Excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (EAAT1) is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the SLC1A3 gene.[5] EAAT1 is also often called the GLutamate ASpartate Transporter 1 (GLAST-1).

EAAT1 is predominantly expressed in the plasma membrane, allowing it to remove glutamate from the extracellular space.

malate-aspartate shuttle.[7]

Mechanism

EAAT1 functions in vivo as a

symport) allows the transport of glutamate into cells against a concentration gradient.[9]

Tissue distribution

EAAT1 is expressed throughout the

cardiac myocytes.[7]

Clinical significance

It is associated with type 6 episodic ataxia.[14] EAAT1 expression may also be associated with osteoarthritis.[15]

Pharmacology

DL-threo-beta-benzyloxyaspartate (TBOA) is an inhibitor of the excitatory amino acid transporters.[16]

Selective inhibitors for EAAT1 have recently been discovered based on 25 combinations of substitutions at the 4 and 7 positions of 2-amino-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitril.[17]
