Definition: A family of POTASSIUM and SODIUM-dependent acidic amino acid transporters that demonstrate a high affinity for GLUTAMIC ACID and ASPARTIC ACID. Several variants of this system are found in neuronal tissue.     
Examples Glutamate Plasma Membrane Transport Proteins 		Other names Transporters, GLAST Glutamate-Aspartate; Transporter, Glutamate-Aspartate; Transport Glycoprotein, Glutamate; Glutamate-Aspartate Transporters, GLAST; Glutamate Aspartate Transporter; GLAST Glutamate Aspartate Transporters; Amino Acid Transport System X AG; Glutamate Transporter; Glutamate Transport Glycoprotein; Glutamate Translocase; GLAST Glutamate-Aspartate Transporters; Amino Acid Transport System XAG; Glutamate-Aspartate Transporter
