11204345 Observational study of gene-disease association. (HuGE Navigator)
15296513 Observational study of gene-disease association. (HuGE Navigator)

17684493 The regulation of EAAT2 mRNA and protein isoforms and concludes with a summary of studies showing dysregulation of EAAT2 in psychiatric and neurological disorders.
17920768 the -181 A/C polymorphism in the EAAT2 gene promoter affects the personality trait of reward dependence in healthy subjects
12408226 Alzheimer disease-related neurodegeneration is associated with the expression of the glutamate transporter EAAT-2 in altered neurons.
15048885 Despite increases in truncated splice variant EAAT2b immunostaining of astrocytes and neurons in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis motor cortex, functional transporter studies demonstrate a large loss of EAAT2 function.
17311293 In conclusion, the idea is put forward of an epigenetic mode of EAAT2 regulation based on the differential methylation of the gene promoter.
17311320 Transient expression of EAAT2 occurs during the window of peak vulnerability for periventricular leukomalacia, suggesting that this transporter may be a major source of extracellular glutamate in ischemic injury to the cerebral white matter.
