Abstract Vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUT1,‐2, and‐3) mediate the accumulation of
transmitter glutamate into synaptic vesicles in glutamatergic neurons. VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 …

Vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUTs) are responsible for glutamate trafficking and for
the subsequent regulated release of this excitatory neurotransmitter at the synapse. Three …

We have recently identified a third subtype of glutamate vesicular transporter (VGLUT)
named VGLUT3. In the present study, we provide a detailed account of the regional and …

Two isoforms of the vesicular glutamate transporter, VGLUT1 and VGLUT2, were recently
cloned and biophysically characterized. Both VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 specifically transport …

Dopamine neurons have been suggested to use glutamate as a cotransmitter. To identify the
basis of such a phenotype, we have examined the expression of the three recently identified …

Before their exocytotic release during stimulation of nerve terminals, nonpeptide
neurotransmitters are loaded into synaptic vesicles by specific transporters. Recently, a …

Glutamate is transported into synaptic vesicles by vesicular glutamate transporter (VGLUT)
proteins. Three different VGLUTs, VGLUT1, VGLUT2, and VGLUT3, have recently been …

Glutamate is the major excitatory transmitter in the brain. Vesicular glutamate transporters
(VGLUT1-3) are responsible for uploading glutamate into synaptic vesicles. VGLUT1 and …

It is widely believed that expression of the vesicular glutamate transporter genes VGLUT1
and VGLUT2 is restricted to glutamatergic neurons and that the two transporters segregate …

Glutamate is the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous
system (CNS). Glutamate is first synthesized in the cytoplasm of presynaptic terminals before …
