QuickView for SLC6A8;jsessionid=F259697F204EC3EA0DE747492B12C24A (gene)


Gene Symbol:
SLC6A8 Homo sapiens Homo sapiens
Full name:
solute carrier family 6 member 8
Synonyms:
CCDS1, CRT, CRTR, CT1, CTR5, sodium- and chloride-dependent creatine transporter 1, creatine transporter 1, creatine transporter SLC6A8 variant D, solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 8, solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter, creatine), member 8
Genomic Location:
Chr X: 152606586-152615234
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a plasma membrane protein whose function is to transport creatine into and out of cells. Defects in this gene can result in X-linked creatine deficiency syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
