Neurotransporter Atlas: VGLUT3
Contents
About
Vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUT1-3) carry glutamate into synaptic vesicles. The VGLUT3-atlas provides online access to high resolution images revealing the distribution of vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGLUT3) in the normal rodent brain, visualized by immunohistochemistry using antibodies against VGLUT3.

Experimental procedures in brief
The images represent sections of one male Wistar rat (8 weeks). The sections were cut on a freeze microtome and labeled with antibodies against VGLUT3 (0,17µg/ml, polyclonal rabbit antibody, catalog number 135 203, Synaptic Systems) according to a standard protocol for light microscopic immunoperoxidase cytochemistry (Gundersen et al. J Neurosci, 18:6059-6070, 1998).
Bregma levels were determined using a standard stereotaxic atlas of the rat brain (Paxinos and Watson, The rat brain in stereotaxic coordinates, Elsevier 2008) brain. For further details, see Stensrud et al. (Neuroscience 162:1055-71, 2009)
