EAAC1/EAAT3 is a transporter of glutamate (Glu) present at the post‐synaptic neuronal element, in opposition to the two other main transporters, GLAST/EAAT1 and GLT1/EAAT2, expressed at the excitatory amino acid (EAA) synapse by surrounding astrocytes. Although, in the adult, EAAC1/EAAT3 exhibits a rather low expression level and is considered to make a minor contribution to Glu removal from the synapse, its early expression during brain development, before the astrocytes are functional…

The physiological significance of EAAC1 is unclear because the subcellular distribution and kinetic properties of this transporter would not allow for a substantial contribution to glutamate clearance from the synaptic cleft; rather, these functions are mediated by glial EAATs (EAAT1 and EAAT2) located in the perisynaptic region.

These studies show that glutamate transport proteins can be regulated potently and that GTRAP can modulate the transport functions ascribed to EAAC1, and may be important in regulating the metabolic function ofEAAC1.

These data rule against a possible role for EAAC1 in the clearance of glutamate from within the cleft and in the regulation of its time in the synapse, and suggest an unconventional non‐synaptic function of this high‐affinity glutamate carrier, not restricted to glutamatergic fibres.

The localization of EAAC1 may explain the pathological symptoms that follow EAAC knockout (seizures and mild toxicity), as seizures could be due to the loss ofEAAC1-mediated fine regulation of neuronal excitability at axodendritic and axospinous synapses, whereas the mild toxicity may be related to the functional inactivation of astrocytic EAAC 1.

It is suggested that genetically EAAC1-null (Slc1a1−/−) mice have reduced neuronal glutathione levels and, with aging, develop brain atrophy and behavioral changes, and thatEAAC1 deficiency thereby leads to impaired neuronal glutATHione metabolism, oxidative stress and age-dependent neurodegeneration.

The findings suggest that neuronal EAAT activity can be a rate‐limiting step for neuronal glutathione synthesis and that the primary function of EAATs expressed by neurons in vivo may be to transport cysteine.
