  • FUNCTION Multifunctional transporter that transports L-glutamate as well as multiple ions such as chloride, sodium and phosphate (PubMed:12151341, PubMed:33440152). At the synaptic vesicle membrane, mainly functions as an uniporter that mediates the uptake of L-glutamate into synaptic vesicles at presynaptic nerve terminals of excitatory neural cells (PubMed:12151341). The L-glutamate 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:12151341). In addition, functions as a chloride channel that allows a chloride permeation through the synaptic vesicle membrane that affects the proton electrochemical gradient and promotes synaptic vesicles acidification (By similarity). 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 (Probable). The symporter activity is electrogenic (PubMed:33440152). Moreover, operates synergistically with SLC18A3/VACHT under a constant H(+) gradient, thereby allowing striatal vesicular acetylcholine uptake (By similarity).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-glutamate(out) = L-glutamate(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY 3 Na(+)(out) + phosphate(out) = 3 Na(+)(in) + phosphate(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY chloride(in) = chloride(out)ACTIVITY REGULATION The L-glutamate uniporter activity exhibits a biphasic dependence on chloride concentration. Chloride channel activity is allosterically activated by lumenal H(+) and Cl(-) leading to synaptic vesicles acidification. The glutamate transport activity is allosterically activated by lumenal H(+) and Cl(-), preventing non-vesicular L-glutamate release.INTERACTION Expressed in amygdala, cerebellum, hippocampus, medulla, spinal cord and thalamus.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sodium/anion cotransporter family. VGLUT subfamily.
