Abstract
Vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT)-2 has a crucial role in the neurotransmission of biogenic amines. Recently, Dalton et al., Pidathala et al., Wu et al., and Wang et al. individually reported cryo-electron microscopy (EM) structures of human VMAT2, offering opportunities for developing improved therapeutics and deep insights into the functioning of this protein.
