Phenotype triggers

  • normal activity of GLAST
    in bergmann_glia
    • GLAST regulates the uptake of glutamate, important for the termination of excitatory signals and the maintenance of non-toxic concentrations. [1]
  • normal activity of GLT1
    in astrocyte
    • The astrocyte glutamate transporter GLT1 is responsible for significant portions of glutamate transport from the synaptic cleft, therby regulating synaptic transmission and preventing exitotoxicity. [2]
