Background Information
VMAT2 is a vesicular monoamine transporter that is responsible for the uptake and storage of monoamines (dopaine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, histamine and serotonin) in neurons, endocrine cells, and tumors deriving from these cells. Histamine-producing endocrine tumors (gastric carcinoids) expressed VMAT2 almost exclusively, thus VMAT2 is useful in classification of neuroendocrine tumors. Reduced expression of VMAT2 has often been observed in Parkinson's diseased (PD) brain, and detection of VMAT2 can be used to reflect the 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzene-1,2-diol neuron loss and predict the disease process. Several forms of VMAT2 can be observed upon the glycosylation: 45 kDa band corresponds to the native (deglycosylated) form, and the 55 and 75 kDa bands to glycosylated forms (PMID: 17582657).
