Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable L-glutamate transmembrane transporter activity; glutamate:sodium symporter activity; and neutral L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in L-glutamate transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Expressed in excretory cell and pharynx. Used to study neurodegenerative disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Huntington's disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 41. Is an ortholog of human SLC1A2 (solute carrier family 1 member 2).
