Astrocytic polyamine transport by ATP13A4 tunes excitatory synaptic transmission

Polyamines are crucial for brain function. ATP13A4 is the main polyamine transporter in astrocytes, impacting astrocyte morphology, synapse formation, and neurodevelopment. Mutations in ATP13A4 are linked to neurodevelopmental disorders.
