Biological function summary
EAAT2 plays an important role in maintaining synaptic transmission and preventing overexcitation that can lead to neuronal damage. It is part of a transporter complex responsible for the movement of glutamate across the cell membrane working together with ions like sodium and potassium. Due to its significant role in the regulation of neurotransmitter levels in the brain EAAT2 is considered an important player in neural communication processes.
Pathways
EAAT2 is integral to the glutamatergic signaling pathway where its activity supports glutamate recycling and homeostasis. This pathway is important for normal cognitive functions such as learning and memory. EAAT2 works closely with other proteins such as EAAT1 in efforts to regulate glutamate concentrations in the extracellular space impacting synaptic strength and plasticity in the nervous system.
