Emerging Evidence for a Direct Link between EAAT-Associated Anion Channels and Neurological Disorders

Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) are membrane proteins that control excitatory synaptic transmission in the brain ([Bergles et al., 1999][1]; [Danbolt, 2001][2]; [Robinson and Jackson, 2016][3]). As classical secondary active transporters, which use the energy stored within ion gradients
