GLUL and epilepsy: For example, inducing the expression of mature astrocyte‐specific genes involved in the clearance of glutamate or in the production of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, including the glutamate transporter GLT‐1 (Slc1a2), glutamine synthetase (Glul), or Maob, a key enzyme in astroglial GABA production (Yoon et al., 2014), may reduce seizure susceptibility in congenital or injury‐triggered epilepsy.
