Glutamate transporter. Glutamate transporters are a family of neurotransmitter transporter proteins that move glutamate â the principal excitatory neurotransmitter â across a membrane. The family of glutamate transporters is composed of two primary subclasses: the excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT) family and vesicular glutamate transporter (VGLUT) family.
Also known as the bulbourethral glands, are located on either side of the urethra just below the prostate gland and their ducts open into the urethra. They secrete thick mucus acting as a lubricant.he ejaculatory duct in the seminal vesicles passes through the prostate gland and enters the urethra. Glands located at the base of the urinary bladder, opening into the vas deferens as it joins the urethra.
The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system, and it is a walnut-sized gland found in men that is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine and semen exit the body.
