Description
Predicted to have L-glutamate transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in equilibrioception; regulation of synapse structure or activity; and vestibular reflex. Predicted to localize to excitatory synapse and integral component of synaptic vesicle membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 25. Is expressed in hair cell; hair cell anterior macula; inner ear; neuromast; and neuromast hair cell. Orthologous to human SLC17A8 (solute carrier family 17 member 8).
