The GLutamate ASpartate Transporter (GLAST) is a protein in the inner mitochondrial membrane which is part of the malate-aspartate shuttle.[1] GLAST is also often called the Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 1 (EAAT1).

Mechanism

GLAST mediates the transport of glutamic and aspartic acid with the cotransport of three Na+ and one H+ cations and counter transport of one K+ cation. This co-transport coupling allows the transport of glutamate into cells against a concentration gradient.[2]  

Tissue distribution

GLAST is highly expressed in astrocytes and Bergmann glia in the cerebellum.[3][4] In the retina, GLAST is expressed in Muller cells.[5] GLAST is also expressed in a number of other tissues including cardiac myocytes.[1]

Clinical significance

It is associated with type 6 episodic_ataxia.[6]
