Anti-GLT1 antibodies are used in antigen-specific immunodetection in biological samples. The target GLT1 is a known alias name of the protein solute carrier family 1 member 2, encoded by the SLC1A2 gene in humans. This 574-amino acid residue protein is known to be involved in chemical synaptic transmission and the transport of ions, among other biological processes. It is localized to the cell membrane of the cell and features glycosylated and palmitoylated post-translational modifications. It is reported to be expressed in the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and caudate. Other synonyms for GLT1 include DEE41, EAAT2, and EIEE41.
