Description:
This template shows glutamine converted to glutamate by glutaminase in the presynaptic terminal, packaged into vesicles by VGLUT, released into the synaptic cleft, and bound by glutamate receptors on the postsynaptic terminal. It also shows EAAT and SN1/SAT2 transporters recycling glutamate into a glial cell, where glutamine synthetase converts it back into glutamine.
