SLC18A2
-
Official Full Name
solute carrier family 18 (vesicular monoamine), member 2 -
Overview
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)). See also SLC18A1 (MIM 193002). -

Protein Function
SLC18A2 has several biochemical functions, for example, monoamine transmembrane transporter activity. Some of the functions are cooperated with other proteins, some of the functions could acted by SLC18A2 itself. We selected most functions SLC18A2 had, and list some proteins which have the same functions with SLC18A2. You can find most of the proteins on our site.
