EAAT-1
EAAT-1 A high affinity glutamate/aspartate transporter found in astrocytes, heart, skeletal muscle and placenta. Its action can be coupled to the co-transport of potassium, sodium or hydrogen ions.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Affinity
A measure of the binding constant of a single antigen combining site with a monovalent antigenic determinant.
Heart
The hollow, muscular organ responsible for pumping blood through the circulatory system.
Muscle
Tissue made up of bundles of long, slender cells that contract when stimulated.
Placenta

It exists, under normal conditions, as a colorless, odorless, tasteless, diatomic gas. Hydrogen ions are PROTONS. Besides the common H1 isotope, hydrogen exists as the stable isotope DEUTERIUM and the unstable, radioactive isotope TRITIUM.
