Ataxia-linked SLC1A3 mutations alter EAAT1 chloride channel activity and glial regulation of CNS function

Qianyi Wu, Azman Akhter, Shashank Pant…·Renae M. Ryan

The paper investigates how mutations in SLC1A3 (hEAAT1) affect chloride channel activity and glutamate transport in glial cells, linking these changes to the pathology of episodic ataxia type 6.
