SLC17A8 - solute carrier family 17 member 8 Gene
Also Known as DFNA25; VGLUT3
Species: Homo sapiens
About SLC17A8
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 273 orthologues, 12 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in small intestine (RPKM 3.2), brain (RPKM 0.5) and 3 other tissues.
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 nonsyndromic type 25 deafness. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
