SLC17A8

Solute carrier family 17 member 8 (SLC17A8) also known as the vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGluT3) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC17A8 gene. ^[1]

Chemical synapse

Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons' signals can be exchanged to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands.
