| Background: |
developmental stage:Expressed in fetal brain.,function:Mediates the uptake of glutamate into synaptic vesicles at presynaptic nerve terminals of excitatory neural cells. May also mediate the transport of inorganic phosphate.,similarity:Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sodium/anion cotransporter family. VGLUT subfamily.,tissue specificity:Predominantly expressed in adult brain. Expressed in amygdala, caudate nucleus, cerebral cortex, frontal lobe, hippocampus, medulla, occipital lobe, puteman, spinal cord, substantia nigra, subthalamic nucleus, temporal lobe and thalamus., |
