17432963 Rutter AR, Fradley RL, Garrett EM, Chapman KL, Lawrence JM, Rosahl TW, Patel S: Evidence from gene knockout studies implicates Asc-1 as the primary transporter mediating d-serine reuptake in the mouse CNS. Eur J Neurosci. 2007 Mar;25(6):1757-66.

In the mammalian central nervous system, transporter-mediated reuptake may be critical for terminating the neurotransmitter action of D-serine at the strychnine insensitive glycine site of the NMDA receptor.
The remaining uptake was mediated predominantly via a low affinity Na (+) dependent transporter with an IC (50) of 670 +/- 300 microm that we propose is the glial alanine-serine-cysteine transporter 2 (ASCT2) transporter.
