Target data
Function
Isoform 1. Electrogenic antiporter that exchanges one cationic monoamine with two intravesicular protons across the membrane of secretory and synaptic vesicles. Uses the electrochemical proton gradient established by the V-type proton-pump ATPase to accumulate high concentrations of monoamines inside the vesicles prior to their release via exocytosis. Transports catecholamines and indolamines with higher affinity for serotonin (PubMed:16326835, PubMed:23337945, PubMed:8643547). Regulates the transvesicular monoaminergic gradient that determines the quantal size. Mediates presynaptic monoaminergic vesicle transport in the amygdala and prefrontal brain regions related with emotion processing in response to environmental stimuli (PubMed:23337945). Isoform 2. Unable to uptake serotonin.

- Activity summary
Vesicular monoamine transporter 1 (VMAT1) also known as solute carrier family 18 member 1 (SLC18A1) facilitates the transport of monoamines—such as dopamine serotonin and norepinephrine—into synaptic vesicles. VMAT1 with a molecular weight of approximately 46 kDa is particularly expressed in neuroendocrine cells. These are present in tissues like the adrenal medulla and various parts of the central nervous system. Its transporter function is critical for monoamine storage and release essentially influencing neurotransmitter recycling.
- Biological function summary
VMAT1 is involved in the modulation of neural signaling processes. It functions as a monoamine transporter by regulating neurotransmitter levels within vesicles preparing them for secretion. By doing so it influences synaptic transmission and signal transduction impacting mood cognition and other neural activities. VMAT1 operates as part of a vesicular transport machinery functioning alongside other proteins that maintain neurotransmitter balance.
- Pathways
VMAT1 plays an important role in the catecholamine and serotonin neurotransmitter pathways. It associates with proteins like dopamine transporter (DAT) and serotonin transporter (SERT) to maintain neurotransmitter homeostasis. These pathways are integral for mood regulation and stress responses. Interactions within these pathways are vital for maintaining synaptic stability and efficient neurotransmitter exchange.
- Associated diseases and disorders
VMAT1 has been implicated in neuropsychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia and mood disorders. Altered VMAT1 function may disrupt monoamine storage and release contributing to imbalances observed in these disorders. The interaction with related proteins such as DAT highlights its role in dopamine-related dysfunction in these diseases. Understanding VMAT1's involvement in these conditions aids the development of targeted therapies to correct neurotransmitter imbalances.
