Also known as: BNPI; VGLUT1
Summary: The 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.

In mammals, VGLUT1 gained a proline-rich sequence that recruits endophilinA1 and turns the transporter into a regulator of synaptic vesicles organization and spontaneous release.
Title: A proline-rich motif on VGLUT1 reduces synaptic vesicle super-pool and spontaneous release frequency.
The findings of this study indicate that Slc17A7 located on 1p/19q may simultaneously influence tumor development.
Title: Network-based analysis of oligodendrogliomas predicts novel cancer gene candidates within the region of the 1p/19q co-deletion.
Study revealed susceptibility of glutamatergic nerve terminals to Abeta induced toxicity and underlined the importance of VGLUT1 in the progression of Alzheimer's disease, as the decrease of this protein levels could increase the susceptibility to subsequent deleterious inputs by exacerbating Abeta induced neuroinflammation and synaptic plasticity disruption.
Title: Down-regulation of glutamatergic terminals (VGLUT1) driven by Aβ in Alzheimer's disease.
This study was the first to demonstrate an association between genetic polymorphism at rs7417284 SNP in the promoter region of the SLC17A7 gene and concussion severity and duration. Based upon these findings, rs74174284 is a potential predictive genetic marker for identifying athletes who are more susceptible for altered recovery times and worse motor speed ImPACT scores after sport-related concussion.
Title: Genetic variation in SLC17A7 promoter associated with response to sport-related concussions.
Results suggest that activation of JNK in Alzheimer's disease (AD) inhibits insulin signaling which could lead to a decreased expression of VGLUT1, therefore contributing to the glutamatergic deficit in AD

Loss of SLC17A7 expression is associated with glioblastoma.

Depressed patients showed significant decreases in synaptophysin (SYN) and VGLUT1 expression, whereas in bipolar patients, decreases in VGLUT1 expression have also been found.
Title: Alterations in the expression of PSA-NCAM and synaptic proteins in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of psychiatric disorder patients.
Data indicate that GABAergic axons were labeled with vesicular inhibitory aa transporter (VIAAT) antibodies, whereas glutamatergic axons were detected with antisera against the major vesicular glutamate transporter (VGLUT) isoforms, VGLUT1 and VGLUT2.

We examined the ratio of excitatory to inhibitory vesicular neurotransmitter transporter mRNAs (VGluT1 to VGAT) and their ratio in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during normal human development and in people with schizophrenia

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.
