Abstract

The activity of the neurons of central nervous system is controlled by glutamatergic neurotransmission and glutamate plays the crucial role by acting as excitatory neurotransmitter. After synthesis in the neuronal cell bodies, glutamate is transported in the presynaptic vesicle of the presynaptic neurons by transporter protein family known as Vesicular Glutamate Transporters (VGLUTs). This protein family is also responsible for doing normal brain functions such as- learning and memory. Three and two isoforms of VGLUTs have identified in mammalian and avian brain, respectively. Recently, three types of VGLUTs identified in reptilian brain, but the difference between their distribution patterns is still unclear. Therefore, this mini-review summarizes the updated knowledge about the distribution patterns of different isoforms of VGLUTs in mammalian, reptilian, and avian brain with their concrete comparison.
