Editing Vesicular monoamine transporter (section)

===Glycosylation sites: N- and C-linked terminals===
Three to four [[Glycosylation|glycosylation sites]] exist in the [[Vesicle (biology and chemistry)|vesicular matrix]] on a loop between TMD I and TMD II.<ref name="Wimalasena, K. 2011"/> In biology, the vesicle [[matrix (biology)|matrix]] refers to the material or tissue between cells in which more specialized structures are embedded. Two of the glycosylation sites, the [[N-linked glycosylation|''N''-linked glycosylation terminal]] and [[C-terminus|''C''-linked terminal]], are located in the cytosolic portion of the vesicle.<ref name="Wimalasena, K. 2011"/><ref>Erickson, Eiden, & Hoffman, 1992</ref>

The highest amount of genetic variance between VMAT1 and VMAT2 exists near the N- and C- terminals in the cytosolic phase, and in the glycosylated loop between TMDs I and II.<ref name="Wimalasena, K. 2011"/>
