SLC18A1 (solute carrier family 18 member A1)

Gene

• Entrez ID: 6570
• Gene name: Solute carrier family 18 member A1
• Gene symbol: SLC18A1
• Synonyms (NCBI Gene): CGAT, VAT1, VMAT1
• 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
