A, inward current evoked by glutamate uptake at −65 mV (comprising both transport-associated current and some current mediated by Cl− flux through the anion conductance of the transporter) is reversibly inhibited by 300 μm TBOA, and TBOA itself induces no current change. B, outward current evoked by raising [K+]o around a cell clamped with an electrode containing glutamate, to evoke reversed uptake, is also blocked by TBOA (and to a lesser extent by 300 μm glutamate).
