| Entrez gene ID | | 57030 |
| Official gene symbol | | SLC17A7 |
| Full name | | solute carrier family 17 (sodium-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter), member 7 |
| Aliases | | ,BNPI,VGLUT1, |
| Gene 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.
