**Background of VAChT Recombinant Protein**
The vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT), encoded by the *SLC18A3* gene, is a critical protein in cholinergic signaling, responsible for packaging the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) into synaptic vesicles within presynaptic neurons. This transport is essential for maintaining proper neurotransmission, as ACh release at synapses and neuromuscular junctions regulates cognitive, motor, and autonomic functions. Dysregulation of VAChT has been implicated in neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases), myasthenia gravis, and autonomic dysfunction, making it a target for therapeutic research.
Recombinant VAChT proteins are engineered in vitro using expression systems like *E. coli* or mammalian cell lines to produce purified, functional forms of the protein. These recombinant variants retain the ability to bind ACh and interact with vesicular membranes, enabling studies on cholinergic transmission mechanisms, drug discovery, and disease modeling. Researchers employ techniques such as affinity chromatography and tag-based purification (e.g., His-tags) to isolate high-purity VAChT for structural or functional assays.
Structural studies using recombinant VAChT (e.g., X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM) aim to elucidate its 12-transmembrane domain architecture and transport dynamics, which are pH- and ATP-dependent. Such insights could guide the design of modulators to correct ACh dysregulation. Additionally, VAChT knockout models and recombinant protein-based assays help explore links between cholinergic deficits and neurological pathologies.
In summary, recombinant VAChT serves as a vital tool for advancing understanding of cholinergic biology and developing therapies targeting ACh-related disorders.
