2.A.1.14.23
Vesicular glutamate transporter #3 (VGLUT3) [Its absence in mice causes sensorineural deafness and seizures]. 70% identical to VGLUT2 (TC# 2.A.1.14.16) (Gras et al., 2002). VGLUT1-3 concentrate glutamate into synaptic vesicles before its exocytotic release and contribute to the regulation of serotonergic transmission and anxiety (Amilhon et al., 2010). It may catalyze uptake of the neurotransmitter coupled with H+ export and K+ uptake (Farsi et al. 2016).
