Functions as a symporter that transports one amino acid molecule together with two or three Na(+) ions and one proton, in parallel with the counter-transport of one K(+) ion. Mediates Cl(-) flux that is not coupled to amino acid transport; this avoids the accumulation of negative charges due to aspartate and Na(+) symport (By similarity). Plays a redundant role in the rapid removal of released glutamate from the synaptic cleft, which is essential for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate (Probable). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35921, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7791878, ECO:0000305}. |SDF| |high-affinity glutamate transmembrane transporter activity| |L-aspartate transmembrane transporter activity| |L-aspartate transmembrane transport| |L-glutamate import across plasma membrane| |aspartate transmembrane transport| |L-glutamate import| |amino acid import across plasma membrane| |L-glutamate transmembrane transport| |amino acid import| |C4-dicarboxylate transport| |glutamate secretion| |neurotransmitter uptake| |L-alpha-amino acid transmembrane transport| |acidic amino acid transport| |intermediate filament cytoskeleton| |integral component of presynaptic membrane| |L-amino acid transport| |drug transmembrane transport| |amino acid transmembrane transport| |dicarboxylic acid transport| |acid secretion| |import across plasma membrane| |amino acid transport| |organic acid transmembrane transport| |carboxylic acid transmembrane transport| |drug transport| |neurotransmitter transport| |anion transmembrane transport| |organic acid transport| |carboxylic acid transport| |glutamatergic synapse| |regulation of neurotransmitter levels| |chemical synaptic transmission| |anterograde trans-synaptic signaling| |regulation of membrane potential| |trans-synaptic signaling| |organic anion transport| |synaptic signaling| |anion transport| |import into cell| |ion transmembrane transport| |Golgi apparatus| |secretion by cell| |response to drug| |export from cell| |cell-cell signaling| |secretion| |transmembrane transport| |ion transport| |integral component of plasma membrane| |nitrogen compound transport| |membrane| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp71|KU-0063794 3.8μM R02 exp71]]|-1.82| |[[:results:exp480|ETC-159 50μM R08 exp480]]|2.35| ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:r:ruvbl2|RUVBL2]]|0.417| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 11756 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: 2.89 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
