SLC17A8 - solute carrier family 17 member 8 Gene

Also Known as DFNA25; VGLUT3

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 246213

About SLC17A8

Cytogenetic location: 12q23.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:100,357,074-100,422,055 (from NCBI)

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]
