- SLC1 = Solute Carrier Family 1; EAAT = Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter; both nomenclatures originally describe the gene families in man. SLC1A4 and SLC1A5 belong phylogenetically to the SLC1 family, mediate however different functions than EAAT and are therefore missing from the EAAT nomenclature.
