_______ are responsible for removal of glutamate molecules from the extracellular fluid.
A) Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs)
B) Vesicular transporters (VGLUTs)
C) Vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporters (VIAATs)
D) Vesicular monoamine transporters (VMATs)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) are responsible for the removal of glutamate molecules from the extracellular fluid. Vesicular transporters (VGLUTs) are responsible for the packaging of glutamate into synaptic vesicles, while vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporters (VIAATs) transport inhibitory neurotransmitters such as GABA and glycine. Vesicular monoamine transporters (VMATs) transport monoamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin.
