The encoded protein transports the neurotransmitter glutamate into synaptic vesicles before it is released into the synaptic cleft. Mutations in this gene are the cause of autosomal-dominant nonsyndromic type 25 deafness. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: Mediates the uptake of glutamate into synaptic vesicles at presynaptic nerve terminals of excitatory neural cells. May also mediate the transport of inorganic phosphate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12151341}. |MFS 1| |pericellular basket| |glial limiting end-foot| |basal dendrite| |neurotransmitter transmembrane transporter activity| |neurotransmitter loading into synaptic vesicle| |L-glutamate transmembrane transporter activity| |apical dendrite| |L-glutamate transmembrane transport| |synaptic transmission, glutamatergic| |excitatory synapse| |multivesicular body| |integral component of synaptic vesicle membrane| |symporter activity| |L-alpha-amino acid transmembrane transport| |acidic amino acid transport| |cochlea development| |axon terminus| |neural retina development| |L-amino acid transport| |synaptic vesicle membrane| |drug transmembrane transport| |amino acid transmembrane transport| |dicarboxylic acid transport| |amino acid transport| |synaptic vesicle cycle| |carboxylic acid transmembrane transport| |organic acid transmembrane transport| |vesicle-mediated transport in synapse| |perikaryon| |retina development in camera-type eye| |sensory perception of sound| |drug transport| |sodium ion transport| |sensory perception of mechanical stimulus| |neurotransmitter transport| |inner ear development| |ear development| |regulation of synapse structure or activity| |anion transmembrane transport| |organic acid transport| |carboxylic acid transport| |camera-type eye development| |eye development| |visual system development| |sensory system development| |monovalent inorganic cation transport| |chemical synaptic transmission| |anterograde trans-synaptic signaling| |trans-synaptic signaling| |organic anion transport| |synaptic signaling| |sensory organ development| |cell junction| |anion transport| |metal ion transport| |brain development| |head development| |cation transport| |ion transmembrane transport| |sensory perception| |central nervous system development| |response to drug| |cell-cell signaling| |transmembrane transport| |ion transport| |nervous system process| |establishment of localization in cell| |nitrogen compound transport| |vesicle-mediated transport| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp37|Wortmannin 0.5μM R00 exp37]]|1.72| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
