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 development of hypotension is advised during coadministration of these agents. Avoid alcohol in patients receiving vasodilating antihypertensive drugs. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.
