Overview

Description
Catalogue NumberAG208
Brand Family Chemicon®
Trade Name
  • Chemicon
DescriptionVesicular Glutamate Transporter 1, control peptide for AB5905
OverviewSynthetic peptide from rat VGLUT1 protein.
Alternate Names
  • VGLUT1
  • BNPI
Background InformationVGLUT1 is expressed in a subset of glutamate neurons and transports glutamate into native synaptic vesicles from the brain, exhibiting a conductance for chloride that is blocked by glutamate. Vesicular glutamate transport has a substantially lower apparent affinity than the plasma membrane excitatory amino acid transporters. Glutamate transport by VGLUT1 is saturated with a K(m) of approximately 2 mM, in the same range as transport by synaptic vesicles. Finally, plasma membrane glutamate transporters recognize both aspartate and glutamate as substrates, whereas VGLUT1 does not recognize aspartate.
