Other name
Vesicular glutamate transporter 1 (VGluT1) (Brain-specific Na(+)-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter) (Solute carrier family 17 member 7)
Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a vesicle-bound, sodium-dependent phosphate transporter that is specifically expressed in the neuron-rich regions of the brain. It is preferentially associated with the membranes of synaptic vesicles and functions in glutamate transport. The protein shares 82% identity with the differentiation-associated Na-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter and they appear to form a distinct class within the Na+/Pi cotransporter family.

Function
function:Mediates the uptake of glutamate into synaptic vesicles at presynaptic nerve terminals of excitatory neural cells. May also mediate the transport of inorganic phosphate.,similarity:Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sodium/anion cotransporter family. VGLUT subfamily.,tissue specificity:Expressed in several regions of the brain including amygdala, cerebellum, cerebral cortex, hippocampus, frontal lobe, medulla, occipital lobe, putamen and temporal lobe.,
