About VAT1

Cytogenetic location: 17q21.31 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:43,014,607-43,022,385 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 295 orthologues and 17 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in adrenal (RPKM 107.1), ovary (RPKM 104.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

Synaptic vesicles are responsible for regulating the storage and release of neurotransmitters in the nerve terminal. The protein encoded by this gene is an abundant integral membrane protein of cholinergic synaptic vesicles and is thought to be involved in vesicular transport. It belongs to the quinone oxidoreductase subfamily of zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
