SLC18: Vesicular neurotransmitter transporters for monoamines and acetylcholine.

Molecular aspects of medicine - 1 Jan 2000

Lawal Hakeem O, Krantz David E

Abstract excerpt

The exocytotic release of neurotransmitters requires active transport into synaptic vesicles and other types of secretory vesicles. Members of the SLC18 family perform this function for acetylcholine (SLC18A3, the vesicular acetylcholine transporter or VAChT) and monoamines such as dopamine and serotonin (SLC18A1 and 2, the vesicular monoamine transporters VMAT1 and 2, respectively). To date, no specific diseases...
