Would someone adjust the table to show alternate names for the EAATs?
EAAT1=GLAST ( Glutamate aspartate transporter)
EAAT2=GLT1 (glutamate transporter 1)
EAAT3=EAAC1 (neuronal versus astrocyte transporter)

link)@ Boghog: I went through all the entries in this NCBI gene search and found that there's 2 transporters (technically, only 1 notable transporter) that's not covered in the lead at the moment. xCT ( SLC7A11) is a transporter which is primarily involved in the transport of cysteine anions and glutamate ( NCBI gene entry for xCT). Sialin ( SLC17A5) is a transporter that is primarily involved in the transport of sialic acids which appears to also transport glutamate and aspartate into synaptic vesicles in the hippocampus ( PMID 18695252 - NCBI gene entry for sialin).
