Structure-Function Relationship of Transporters in the Glutamate–Glutamine Cycle of the Central Nervous System

Many kinds of transporters contribute to glutamatergic excitatory synaptic transmission. Glutamate is loaded into synaptic vesicles by vesicular glutamate transporters to be released from presynaptic terminals. After synaptic vesicle release, glutamate is taken up by neurons or astrocytes to termina...
