Excitatory amino acid transporter 5
(Redirected from EAAT5)
Template:Cs1 config Template:Short description Template:Infobox gene Excitatory amino-acid transporter 5 (EAAT5) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC1A7 gene.[1][2]
EAAT5 is expressed predominantly in the retina, has high affinity for the excitatory amino acid L-glutamate. When stimulated by this amino acid, EAAT5 conducts chloride ions.[2]
