SLC17A8
Lua error in Module:Infobox_gene at line 33: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). Solute carrier family 17 member 8 (SLC17A8) also known as the vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGluT3) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC17A8 gene.[1]
Function
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.[1]
Clinical significance
Mutations in this gene are the cause of autosomal-dominant nonsyndromic deafness type 25 (DFNA25).[2][3]
