Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables L-glutamate uniporter activity. Involved in L-glutamate transmembrane transport; positive regulation of glutamate uptake involved in transmission of nerve impulse; and regulation of acetylcholine uptake. Located in synaptic vesicle. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in brain; cochlear ganglion; and sensory organ. Used to study autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 25. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 25. Orthologous to human SLC17A8 (solute carrier family 17 member 8).
