Vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGLUT3) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC17A8 gene.[5]

Function

[edit]

This gene encodes a vesicular glutamate transporter. The encoded protein transports the neurotransmitter glutamate into synaptic vesicles before it is released into the synaptic cleft.[5]

Clinical significance

[edit]

Mutations in this gene are the cause of autosomal-dominant nonsyndromic deafness type 25 (DFNA25).[6][7]
