Function | [Isoform 1]: Electrogenic antiporter that exchanges one cationic monoamine with two intravesicular protons across the membrane of secretory and synaptic vesicles. Uses the electrochemical proton gradient established by the V-type proton-pump ATPase to accumulate high concentrations of monoamines inside the vesicles prior to their release via exocytosis. Transports catecholamines and indolamines with higher affinity for serotonin (PubMed:23337945, PubMed:8643547, PubMed:16326835). Regulates the transvesicular monoaminergic gradient that determines the quantal size. Mediates presynaptic monoaminergic vesicle transport in the amygdala and prefrontal brain regions related with emotion processing in response to environmental stimuli (PubMed:23337945). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8R090}; Multi-pass membrane protein [Isoform 2]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed primarily in neuroendocrine tissues. Highly expressed in chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla (at protein level). Detected in peripheral sympathetic ganglia (at protein level) Found in some paracrine cells in stomach and duodenum (at protein level) (PubMed:8643547). Expressed in substantia nigra (PubMed:23337945). [Isoform 2]: Expressed in gastrointestinal tract. |
