Description: The Vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT), also known as SLC18A3, is a neurotransmitter transporter which is responsible for loadingacetylcholine (ACh) into secretory organelles in neurons making acetylcholine available for secretion. It is encoded by Solute carrier family 18, member 3 (SLC18A3) gene. This gene is a member of the vesicular amine transporter family. The encoded transmembrane protein transports acetylcholine into secretory vesicles for release into the extracellular space. Acetylcholine transport utilizes a proton gradient established by a vacuolar ATPase. This gene is located within the first intron of the choline acetyltransferase gene.

Immunogen: Amino acids 1-36 (MESAEPAGQARAAATKLSEAVGAALQEPRRQRRLVL-human) were used as the immunogen for the VAChT antibody.

Storage: After reconstitution, the VAChT antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
