Scientific Background
EAAT2 (also known as GLT-1), is encoded by SLC1A2 and is a glutamate transporter which can clear the majority of extracellular glutamate in brain and prevent brain seizures.Three isoforms of EAAT2 exist due to the alternative splicing. In addition to the 65-70 kDa monomer form, 120-140 kDa dimer of EAAT2 can also be observed on SDS-PAGE. (PMID: 22114258)
