Gene information for SLC17A8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID246213
Official gene symbolSLC17A8
Full namesolute carrier family 17 (sodium-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter), member 8
Aliases,DFNA25,VGLUT3,
Gene summaryThis 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.
