17122055 Wallen-Mackenzie A, Gezelius H, Thoby-Brisson M, Nygard A, Enjin A, Fujiyama F, Fortin G, Kullander K: Vesicular glutamate transporter 2 is required for central respiratory rhythm generation but not for locomotor central pattern generation. J Neurosci. 2006 Nov 22;26(47):12294-307.


Glutamatergic excitatory neurotransmission is dependent on glutamate release from presynaptic vesicles loaded by three members of the solute carrier family, Slc17a6-8, which function as vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUTs).		 6(0,0,0,6) Details
