Excitatory amino-acid transporter 4

Excitatory amino-acid transporter 4 (EAAT4) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC1A6 is_associated_with::gene.

EAAT4 is expressed predominantly in the is_associated_with::cerebellum, has high affinity for the is_associated_with::excitatory amino acids L-aspartate and L-glutamate. When stimulated by these amino acids, EAAT4 conducts chloride ions.
