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 head neurons and metacorpus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); dicarboxylic aminoaciduria; and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human SLC1A1 (solute carrier family 1 member 1) and SLC1A6 (solute carrier family 1 member 6).
