Glu transporters in human and mammals and their occurrence in CNS cells.

Transporter (Human)	Transporter (Mammals)	Occurrence (Cell)
EAAT1	GLAST	Astrocyte, ODC, microglia
EAAT2	GLT-1	Astrocyte, ODC
EAAT3	EAAC1	Neuron (somatodendritic), astrocyte (low)
EAAT4	EAAT4	Purkinje cell
EAAT5	EAAT5	Müller cell (retina)

EAAT: excitatory amino acid transporter; GLAST: Glu-aspartate transporter; GLT-1: glial transporter-1; EAAC: excitatory amino acid carrier; ODC: oligodendrocyte (adapted from Kostic et al., 2013 [4]).
