Entrez gene ID | | 246213 |
Official gene symbol | | SLC17A8 |
Full name | | solute carrier family 17 (sodium-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter), member 8 |
Aliases | | ,DFNA25,VGLUT3, |
Gene summary | | 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. Mutations in this gene are the cause of autosomal-dominant nonsyndromic type 25 deafness. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. |
