About Slc18a3

Summary

Predicted to enable acetylcholine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in neurotransmitter loading into synaptic vesicle. Located in cytoplasm and terminal bouton. Is active in cholinergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including esophagus; heart; nervous system; pelvic ganglion; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myasthenic syndrome 21. Orthologous to human SLC18A3 (solute carrier family 18 member A3).
