SLC17A7, Official Symbol SLC17A7provided by HGNC Official Full Name solute carrier family 17 member 7provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:16704 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000104888 MIM:605208; AllianceGenome:HGNC:16704 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as BNPI; VGLUT1 Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a vesicle-bound, sodium-dependent phosphate transporter that is specifically expressed in the neuron-rich regions of the brain. It is preferentially associated with the membranes of synaptic vesicles and functions in glutamate transport. The protein shares 82% identity with the differentiation-associated Na-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter and they appear to form a distinct class within the Na+/Pi cotransporter family.
