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.

  • Additive hypotensive effects by the combination of Deserpidine and Ketamine 

Recommended Action
      Management Patients should be closely monitored. If profound hypotension occurs, a direct-acting sympathomimetic agent, such as dobutamine or epinephrine, may be required.
