Abstract

High affinity glutamate transporters regulate levels of extracellular glutamate in the central nervous system. Impaired glutamate transport has been implicated in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The glutamate transporter subtypes GluT-1 and EAAC1 have previously been mapped to human chromosomes 5p13 and 9p24, respectively. In the present study, the GLT-1 subtype was mapped to human chromosome 11p11.2-p13 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The possible clinical implications of this finding are discussed.
