Gene: VAT1

Alternate names for this Gene: VATI

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q21.31

Description of this Gene: vesicle amine transport 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
