Entrez ID	246213
Gene name	Solute carrier family 17 member 8
Gene symbol	SLC17A8
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)	DFNA25VGLUT3
Chromosome	12
Chromosome location	12q23.1
Summary	This gene encodes a vesicular glutamate transporter. The encoded protein transports the neurotransmitter glutamate into synaptic vesicles before it is released into the synaptic cleft. Mutations in this gene are the cause of autosomal-dominant nonsyndromi

Protein name

Vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGluT3) (Solute carrier family 17 member 8)

Protein function

Multifunctional transporter that transports L-glutamate as well as multiple ions such as chloride, sodium and phosphate (PubMed:12151341, PubMed:33440152). At the synaptic vesicle membrane, mainly functions as an uniporter that mediates the upta
