== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/EAA2_HUMAN EAA2_HUMAN] Non-specific early-onset epileptic encephalopathy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/EAA2_HUMAN EAA2_HUMAN] Sodium-dependent, high-affinity amino acid transporter that mediates the uptake of L-glutamate and also L-aspartate and D-aspartate (PubMed:14506254, PubMed:15265858, PubMed:26690923, PubMed:7521911). Functions as a symporter that transports one amino acid molecule together with two or three Na(+) ions and one proton, in parallel with the counter-transport of one K(+) ion (PubMed:14506254). Mediates Cl(-) flux that is not coupled to amino acid transport; this avoids the accumulation of negative charges due to aspartate and Na(+) symport (PubMed:14506254). Essential for the rapid removal of released glutamate from the synaptic cleft, and for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate (By similarity).[UniProtKB:P43006]<ref>PMID:15265858</ref> <ref>PMID:26690923</ref> <ref>PMID:7521911</ref>
