Vesicular glutamate transporter 2
| Name: | Vesicular glutamate transporter 2 |
| Description: | Protein that mediates the uptake of glutamate into synaptic vesicles at presynaptic nerve terminals of excitatory neural cells. May also play a role in the endocrine glutamatergic system of other tissues such as pineal gland and pancreas. May also mediate the transport of inorganic phosphate. (Adapted from UniProt) |
| Has role: | Transporter Protein |
| Abbreviation: | VGLUT2 |
