SLC18A3 Gene

solute carrier family 18 (vesicular acetylcholine transporter), member 3

This gene is a member of the vesicular amine transporter family. The encoded transmembrane protein transports acetylcholine into secretory vesicles for release into the extracellular space. Acetylcholine transport utilizes a proton gradient established by a vacuolar ATPase. This gene is located within the first intron of the choline acetyltransferase gene.

SLC18A2 Gene

solute carrier family 18 (vesicular monoamine transporter), member 2

This gene encodes an transmembrane protein that functions as an ATP-dependent transporter of monoamines, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine. This protein transports amine neurotransmitters into synaptic vesicles. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other neurological/psychiatric ailments.

SLC18A1 Gene

solute carrier family 18 (vesicular monoamine transporter), member 1

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 been implicated in several human neuropsychiatric disorders. The transporter is a site of action of important drugs, including reserpine and tetrabenazine (Peter et al., 1993 [PubMed 7905859]). See also SLC18A2 (MIM 193001).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

SLC17A9 Gene

solute carrier family 17 (vesicular nucleotide transporter), member 9

This gene encodes a member of a family of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the transport of small molecules. The encoded protein participates in the vesicular uptake, storage, and secretion of adenoside triphosphate (ATP) and other nucleotides. A mutation in this gene was found in individuals with autosomal dominant disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis-8. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

SLC17A6 Gene

solute carrier family 17 (vesicular glutamate transporter), member 6

Enables L-glutamate uniporter activity. Involved in L-glutamate import and phosphate ion homeostasis. Located in synaptic vesicle membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

SLC17A7 Gene

solute carrier family 17 (vesicular glutamate transporter), member 7

The protein encoded by this gene is a vesicle-bound, sodium-dependent phosphate transporter that is specifically expressed in the neuron-rich regions of the brain. It is preferentially associated with the membranes of synaptic vesicles and functions in glutamate transport. The protein shares 82% identity with the differentiation-associated Na-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter and they appear to form a distinct class within the Na+/Pi cotransporter family.

CALY Gene

calcyon neuron-specific vesicular protein

The protein encoded by this gene is a type II single transmembrane protein. It is required for maximal stimulated calcium release after stimulation of purinergic or muscarinic but not beta-adrenergic receptors. The encoded protein interacts with D1 dopamine receptor and may interact with other DA receptor subtypes and/or GPCRs. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

SLC17A8 Gene

solute carrier family 17 (vesicular glutamate transporter), member 8

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]

SLC32A1 Gene

solute carrier family 32 (GABA vesicular transporter), member 1

The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine uptake into synaptic vesicles. The encoded protein is a member of amino acid/polyamine transporter family II. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

VOPP1 Gene

vesicular, overexpressed in cancer, prosurvival protein 1

Enables enzyme binding activity. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; late endosome; and lysosome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

BET1 Gene

Bet1 golgi vesicular membrane trafficking protein

This gene encodes a golgi-associated membrane protein that participates in vesicular transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi complex. The encoded protein functions as a soluble N-ethylaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor and may be involved in the docking of ER-derived vesicles with the cis-Golgi membrane. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

VDI Gene

vesicular stomatitis virus defective interfering particle suppression

BET1P1 Gene

Bet1 golgi vesicular membrane trafficking protein pseudogene 1

LOC729086 Gene

vesicular, overexpressed in cancer, prosurvival protein 1 pseudogene

BET1L Gene

Bet1 golgi vesicular membrane trafficking protein-like

Enables SNAP receptor activity. Involved in regulation of retrograde vesicle-mediated transport, Golgi to ER and retrograde transport, endosome to Golgi. Located in Golgi apparatus and endosome. Implicated in uterine fibroid. Biomarker of endometrial adenocarcinoma. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
