Vesicular glutamate transporters are H+-anion exchangers that operate at variable stoichiometry

Abstract Vesicular glutamate transporters accumulate glutamate in synaptic vesicles, where they also function as a major Cl- efflux pathway. Here we combine heterologous expression and cellular electrophysiology with mathematical modeling to understand the mechanisms underlying this dual function of...
