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.
Prostate gland. The prostate is a small gland found only in men, located in the pelvis, between the penis and bladder. It's involved in the production of semen. The prostate produces a thick, white fluid that's made into a thinner liquid by a protein called prostate-specific antigen (PSA).
