title: Localization of the gene (SLC1A3) encoding human glutamate transporter (GluT-1) to 5p13 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
abstract: The glutamate transporter takes up glutamate to terminate neurotransmission and to prevent neuronal cell death. Chromosomal location of the human glutamate transporter, hGluT-1, gene (SLC1A3) was determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization. SLC1A3 was mapped to chromosome 5p13.
