Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including amine transmembrane transporter activity; heat shock protein binding activity; and monoamine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in histamine secretion by mast cell; neurotransmitter loading into synaptic vesicle; and serotonin secretion by mast cell. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including locomotory behavior; response to amphetamine; and response to toxic substance. Located in synaptic vesicle membrane. Is active in dopaminergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; eye; integumental system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; infantile parkinsonism-dystonia 2; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human SLC18A2 (solute carrier family 18 member A2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
