Gene: SLC6A8

Alternate names for this Gene: CCDS1|CRT|CRTR|CT1|CTR5

Gene Summary: 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: X

Location in Chromosome : Xq28

Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 6 member 8

Type of Gene: protein-coding
