Background

VMAT2 (Vesicular amine transporter 2) acts to accumulate cytosolic monoamines into synaptic vesicles. Its function is essential to the correct activity of the monoaminergic systems that have been implicated in several human neuropsychiatric disorders such as dementia with Lewy bodies. The transporter is a site of action of important drugs, including reserpine and tetrabenazine.
