Summary: Predicted to enable L-glutamate transmembrane transporter activity; glutamate:sodium symporter activity; and neutral L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within larval locomotory behavior and regulation of glutamate uptake involved in transmission of nerve impulse. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in nervous system and spinal cord neural tube. Used to study developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 41. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 41. Orthologous to human SLC1A2 (solute carrier family 1 member 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
