Gene information for SLC17A7 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID57030
Official gene symbolSLC17A7
Full namesolute carrier family 17 (sodium-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter), member 7
Aliases,BNPI,VGLUT1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a vesicle-bound, sodium-dependent phosphate transporter that is specifically expressed in the neuron-rich regions of the brain. It is preferentially associated with the membranes of synaptic vesicles and functions in glutamate transport. The protein shares 82% identity with the differentiation-associated Na-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter and they appear to form a distinct class within the Na+/Pi cotransporter family.
