Gene Name SLC18A2
Uniprot ID VMAT2_HUMAN
KEGG Pathway hsa:6571
Protein Family Major facilitator superfamily
Protein Function
Involved in the ATP-dependent vesicular transport of biogenic amine neurotransmitters. Pumps cytosolic monoamines including dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine into synaptic vesicles (PubMed:23363473). Requisite for vesicular amine storage prior to secretion via exocytosis.

Recommended Action
      Management Caution and close monitoring for altered efficacy and safety are recommended if patients receive apomorphine with an antihypertensive agent or vasodilator. Patients should be made aware of the possible side effects (e.g., dizziness, lightheadedness, orthostasis) and be cautioned about driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous tasks. They should also be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to contact their physician if they experience symptoms of hypotension such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
