VMAT1 Antibody / SLC18A1, 100 ug

Chromaffin granule amine transporter is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC18A1 gene. This gene is mapped to 8p21.3. The vesicular monoamine transporter acts to accumulate cytosolic monoamines into vesicles, using the proton gradient maintained across the vesicular membrane. Its proper function is essential to the correct activity of the monoaminergic systems that have been implicated in several human neuropsychiatric disorders. The transporter is a site of action of important drugs, including reserpine and tetrabenazine.
