SLC17A7 cDNA ORF clone, Homo sapiens(human)
Gene Symbol | SLC17A7 |
Entrez Gene ID | 57030 |
Full Name | solute carrier family 17 member 7 |
Synonyms | BNPI,VGLUT1 |
General protein information |

Gene Type | protein-coding |
Organism | Homo sapiens(human) |
Genome | |
Summary | The protein encoded by this gene is a vesicle-bound, sodium-dependent phosphate transporter that is specifically expressed in the neuron-rich regions of the brain. It is preferentially associated with the membranes of synaptic vesicles and functions in glutamate transport. The protein shares 82% identity with the differentiation-associated Na-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter and they appear to form a distinct class within the Na+/Pi cotransporter family.

Study revealed susceptibility of glutamatergic nerve terminals to Abeta induced toxicity and underlined the importance of VGLUT1 in the progression of Alzheimer's disease, as the decrease of this protein levels could increase the susceptibility to subsequent deleterious inputs by exacerbating Abeta induced neuroinflammation and synaptic plasticity disruption.

This study was the first to demonstrate an association between genetic polymorphism at rs7417284 SNP in the promoter region of the SLC17A7 gene and concussion severity and duration. Based upon these findings, rs74174284 is a potential predictive genetic marker for identifying athletes who are more susceptible for altered recovery times and worse motor speed ImPACT scores after sport-related concussion.

Results suggest that activation of JNK in Alzheimer's disease (AD) inhibits insulin signaling which could lead to a decreased expression of VGLUT1, therefore contributing to the glutamatergic deficit in AD
