Gene name

SLC18A2 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

SVAT, SVMT, VMAT2

Description

Solute carrier family 18 (vesicular monoamine transporter), member 2 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

The vesicular monoamine transporter acts to accumulate cytosolic monoamines into synaptic vesicles, using the proton gradient maintained across the synaptic 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 (summary by Peter et al., 1993 [PubMed 7905859]).
