Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP9300b was selected from the C-term region of human MOUSE VGLU2 Andibody (C-term). A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | Slc17a6 {ECO:0000312|MGI:MGI:2156052} |

Function | Multifunctional transporter that transports L-glutamate as well as multiple ions such as chloride, proton, potassium, sodium and phosphate (PubMed:17108179, PubMed:33440152, PubMed:25433636, PubMed:11432869). At the synaptic vesicle membrane, mainly functions as a uniporter which transports preferentially L-glutamate but also, phosphate from the cytoplasm into synaptic vesicles at presynaptic nerve terminals of excitatory neural cells (PubMed:17108179, PubMed:11432869). The L-glutamate or phosphate uniporter activity is electrogenic and is driven by the proton electrochemical gradient, mainly by the electrical gradient established by the vacuolar H(+)- ATPase across the synaptic vesicle membrane (PubMed:11432869). In addition, functions as a chloride channel that allows a chloride permeation through the synaptic vesicle membrane therefore affects the proton electrochemical gradient and promotes synaptic vesicles acidification (By similarity). Moreover, functions as a vesicular K(+)/H(+) antiport allowing to maintain the electrical gradient and to decrease chemical gradient and therefore sustain vesicular glutamate uptake (PubMed:25433636). The vesicular H(+)/H(+) antiport activity is electroneutral (PubMed:25433636). At the plasma membrane, following exocytosis, functions as a symporter of Na(+) and phosphate from the extracellular space to the cytoplasm allowing synaptic phosphate homeostasis regulation (PubMed:33440152). The symporter activity is driven by an inside negative membrane potential and is electrogenic (PubMed:33440152). Also involved in the regulation of retinal hyaloid vessel regression during postnatal development (PubMed:30936473). May also play a role in the endocrine glutamatergic system of other tissues such as pineal gland and pancreas (By similarity). |

Background
MOUSE VGLU2 mediates the uptake of glutamate into synaptic vesicles at presynaptic nerve terminals of excitatory neural cells. This protein may also mediate the transport of inorganic phosphate.
