Tissue Specificity | Peripheral and central cholinergic nervous systems. |
Post Translational Modifications | |
Function | Electrogenic antiporter that exchanges one cholinergic neurotransmitter, acetylcholine or choline, with two intravesicular protons across the membrane of synaptic vesicles. Uses the electrochemical proton gradient established by the V-type proton-pump ATPase to store neurotransmitters inside the vesicles prior to their release via exocytosis. Determines cholinergic vesicular quantal size at presynaptic nerve terminals in developing neuro-muscular junctions with an impact on motor neuron differentiation and innervation pattern. Part of forebrain cholinergic system, regulates hippocampal synapse transmissions that underlie spatial memory formation. Can transport serotonin. |
