Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 6570
Gene name Solute carrier family 18 member A1
Gene symbol SLC18A1
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CGATVAT1VMAT1
Chromosome 8
Chromosome location 8p21.3
Summary The vesicular monoamine transporter acts to accumulate cytosolic monoamines into vesicles, using the proton gradient maintained across the vesicular membrane. Its proper function is essential to the correct activity of the monoaminergic systems that have
