solute carrier family 17 (sodium-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter), member 8
solute carrier family 17 (vesicular glutamate transporter), member 8
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables L-glutamate uniporter activity and chloride channel activity. Involved in several processes, including L-glutamate transmembrane transport; cochlea development; and regulation of acetylcholine uptake. Located in several cellular components, including axon; cytoplasmic vesicle; and dendrite. Biomarker of Parkinsonism; cochlear disease; sciatic neuropathy; transient cerebral ischemia; and trichinosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 25. Orthologous to human SLC17A8 (solute carrier family 17 member 8).
