NCBI Summary for SLC6A8
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. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]
UniProt Comments for SLC6A8
SLC6A8: Required for the uptake of creatine in muscles and brain. Defects in SLC6A8 are the cause of X-linked creatine deficiency syndrome (XL-CDS). XL-CDS causes developmental delay, hypotonia, mental retardation, seizures, short stature and midface hypoplasia. Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) family. SLC6A8 subfamily. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Membrane protein, multi-pass; Membrane protein, integral; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Transporter, SLC family; Transporter
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: Xq28
Cellular Component: integral to plasma membrane; plasma membrane; integral to membrane
Molecular Function: creatine transporter activity; neurotransmitter:sodium symporter activity; creatine:sodium symporter activity
Biological Process: muscle contraction; neurotransmitter transport; transport; sodium ion transport; creatine metabolic process; creatine transport
Disease: Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndrome 1
Research Articles on SLC6A8
1. Measurements of creatine and guanidinoacetate in plasma are recommended for the diagnosis of AGAT and GAMT deficiency.Definitive confirmation of the diagnosis requires DNA sequencing of the appropriate gene and (if molecular analysis is ambiguous) measurement of AGAT or GAMT enzyme activity or of CRTR-mediated transport
