| Function |
Transports L-glutamate, L- and D-aspartate and L-cystein (PubMed:21123949). Essential for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate by rapidly removing released glutamate from the synaptic cleft. Acts as a symport by cotransporting sodium. Negatively regulated by ARL6IP5 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51906, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51907, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21123949}.
