About Slc6a8

Summary

Predicted to enable choline transmembrane transporter activity and creatine:sodium symporter activity. Predicted to be involved in sodium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within creatine transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study creatine transporter deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in creatine transporter deficiency and intellectual disability. Orthologous to human SLC6A8 (solute carrier family 6 member 8).
