Beschreibung

General description

VGLUT1 (vesicular glutamate transporter 1, originally termed BNPI and characterized as a Na⁺/Pi transporter) is a 60 kDa protein. VGLUT2 is enriched in synaptic vesicles and selective for a distinct class of glutaminergic nerve terminals.

Vesicular glutamate transporter 1 (VGLUT1), also called as solute carrier family 17 member 7 (SLC17A7), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 19q13, a region associated with schizophrenia. VGLUT1 is specifically expressed in neuronal cells in the brain and at higher levels in neuron-enriched regions such as the amygdala and hippocampus. Glia-enriched areas such as the corpus callosum also show moderate level of expression and substantia nigra, subthalamic nuclei and thalamus show low level expression. VGLUT1 is characterized with a conserved C-terminal dileucine-like motif and two polyproline domains distal to C- terminal end, including one that binds to endocytic BAR (Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs) domain protein, endophilin.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to a region near the C-terminus of human VGLUT1 (amino aicds 504-520).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Vesicular glutamate transporter 1 (VGLUT1) is associated with neuronal pathways that exhibit activity-dependent potentiation, whereas VGLUT2 is expressed in sensory and autonomic pathways that display high fidelity neurotransmission.

Vesicular glutamate transporter 1 (VGLUT1) plays a vital role as a vesicular glutamate transporter in glutamatergic neurons. VGLUT1 expression in the prefrontal cortex functions as a potential neurochemical marker of dementia in Alzheimer′s disease (AD) and antidepressant activity.

Physical form
