Slc1a1 - solute carrier family 1 member 1

Enables amino acid transmembrane transporter activity; glutamate binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in L-glutamate transmembrane transport. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; perikaryon; and perisynaptic space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dicarboxylic aminoaciduria and schizophrenia 18. Orthologous to human SLC1A1 (solute carrier family 1 member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
