Description:
Article Glutamate transporters mediate neurotransmitter reuptake at glutamatergic synapses. Here the authors show that CDC42 effector protein CDC42EP4 supports efficient glutamate clearance by promoting the tethering of a glutamate transporter GLAST to perisynaptic clusters of septins in Bergmann glia.
