Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
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
