EAAT1/GLAST-1/SLC1A3 Overexpression Lysate

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.

Human excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) are members of a family of high affinity sodium-dependent transporter molecules that regulate neurotransmitter concentrations at the excitatory glutamatergic synapses of the mammalian central nervous system. It is believed that these proteins reduce extracellular glutamate concentration, thereby modulating synaptic signaling. In addition, EAATs may also be important for the prevention of glutamate excitotoxicity. EAAT1 is prominently expressed in the frontal cortex, hippocampus and basal ganglia and is also reported to be found in heart, placenta, lung and striated muscle. EAAT1 shares some pharmacological similarities with EAAT3 and both are potent antagonists that appear to specifically block transport mediated by EAAT2. EAAT1 transports L-glutamate and also L- and D-aspartate, acting as a symport by co-transporting sodium. EAAT1 is essential for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate, by rapidly removing released glutamate from the synaptic cleft.
