Activity and protein localization of multiple glutamate transporters in gestation day 14 vs. day 20 rat placenta

Concentrative absorption of glutamate by the developing placenta is critical for proper fetal development. The expression of GLAST1, GLT1, EAAC1, and EAAT4, known to be capable of D-aspartate-inhibitable and Na+ coupled glutamate transport (system X-AG), was evaluated in day 14 vs. day 20 rat chorio...

Summary:Concentrative absorption of glutamate by the developing placenta is critical for proper fetal development. The expression of GLAST1, GLT1, EAAC1, and EAAT4, known to be capable of D-aspartate-inhibitable and Na+ coupled glutamate transport (system X-AG), was evaluated in day 14 vs. day 20 rat chorioallantoic placenta.
