Supplementary information

VGLUT2 also known as Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 2 or SLC17A6 plays a significant role in neurotransmission. This protein facilitates the transport of glutamate an excitatory neurotransmitter into synaptic vesicles in preparation for synaptic release. VGLUT2 has a molecular weight of approximately 61 kDa. Its expression appears particularly in the central nervous system including regions like the thalamus brainstem and some parts of the cerebral cortex.
Biological function summary

VGLUT2 is essential for proper glutamatergic signaling in neuronal communication. The protein does not form part of a larger complex but functions individually to maintain synaptic vesicle filling with glutamate. Normal glutamatergic synaptic transmission relies on VGLUT2’s ability to concentrate glutamate in synaptic vesicles. This concentration is necessary for effective excitatory signaling impacting processes such as synaptic plasticity learning and memory.

Pathways

VGLUT2 serves a critical function in neurotransmitter release and synaptic vesicle cycle. The protein actively transports glutamate into synaptic vesicles enabling its release into the synaptic cleft. VGLUT2 interacts closely with proteins like SNAREs that assist in vesicle docking and fusion. The protein also plays a functional role in the glutamatergic pathway which is important for excitatory neurotransmission in the brain.

VGLUT2 holds relevance to conditions such as schizophrenia and epilepsy. Its dysregulation can alter glutamate levels potentially contributing to altered neuronal excitability and synaptic dysfunction. Studies link VGLUT2 with connected proteins like NMDA receptors which mediate excitatory postsynaptic potentials and are associated with glutamatergic signaling disruptions in these disorders. Alterations in the expression or function of VGLUT2 might influence susceptibility to these neuropsychiatric and neurological conditions.

Target data

Multifunctional transporter that transports L-glutamate as well as multiple ions such as chloride, proton, potassium, sodium and phosphate (PubMed : 11432869, PubMed : 17108179, PubMed : 25433636, PubMed : 33440152). 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 : 11432869, PubMed : 17108179). 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).
