Function

Multifunctional transporter that transports L-glutamate as well as multiple ions such as chloride, proton, potassium, sodium and phosphate (PubMed:25433636, PubMed:29273736, PubMed:29642010, PubMed:33440152). At the synaptic vesicle membrane, mainly functions as an uniporter which transports preferentially L-glutamate but also phosphate from the cytoplasm into synaptic vesicles at presynaptic nerve terminals of excitatory neural cells (PubMed:15103023, PubMed:15118123, PubMed:25433636, PubMed:29642010). 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:29642010). In addition, functions as a chloride channel that allows a chloride permeation through the synaptic vesicle membrane that affects the proton electrochemical gradient and promotes synaptic vesicles acidification (PubMed:25433636, PubMed:29273736, PubMed:29642010). Moreover, may function as a K(+)/H(+) antiport allowing to maintain the electrical gradient and to decrease chemical gradient and therefore sustain vesicular glutamate uptake (By similarity). The vesicular K(+)/H(+) antiport activity is electroneutral (By similarity). 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:29642010, PubMed:33440152). The symporter activity is driven by an inside negative membrane potential and is electrogenic (PubMed:29642010). Is necessary for synaptic signaling of visual-evoked responses from photoreceptors (PubMed:17611277).

Activity summary

VGluT1 or Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 1 is an important protein for transporting glutamate in the brain. It plays an important role in packaging glutamate into synaptic vesicles. This protein has an approximate mass of 61 kDa. Scientists find VGluT1 expression mainly in the central nervous system especially in areas involved in synaptic transmission and neural communication. VGluT1 localizes at the presynaptic terminals and enables glutamate to be stored in vesicles before release into the synaptic cleft.

Biological function summary

The function of VGluT1 centers on neurotransmitter regulation maintaining adequate synaptic glutamate levels. It does not work alone but works as part of a complex within the presynaptic vesicular organelles. This transport system enables efficient glutamate signaling essential for learning and memory. Through its action it supports important processes in brain development and synaptic plasticity indicating its role in cognitive functions.

Pathways

VGluT1 is essential in the glutamatergic signaling pathways which influence numerous neurotransmission activities. Its activity interlinks with proteins like synaptophysin and synapsins that help dock and release synaptic vesicles. Another associated pathway involves glutamate synthesis and recycling helping maintain excitatory neurotransmission balance. These pathways implicate VGluT1 in maintaining proper neural network connectivity and excitatory-inhibitory balance.

Associated diseases and disorders

Altered VGluT1 function impacts conditions such as schizophrenia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Researchers associate its dysregulation with impaired glutamate homeostasis leading to synaptic dysfunction. VGluT1 interacts with neuronal proteins such as EAAT2 involved in ALS where its malfunction results in motor neuron degeneration. In the context of schizophrenia altered VGluT1 expression disturbs glutamatergic neurotransmission contributing to symptoms due to synaptic imbalance.
