摘要
Neurotransmitter: sodium symporters, which use sodium gradients for the coupled uptake of sodium and neurotransmitters during synaptic transmission, often display a chloride dependence. New data from two separate groups identify the chloride- binding site for this family of symporters and suggest that the chloride charge facilitates sodium binding and substrate transport.
