Human Gene SLC6A8 (ENST00000430077.6) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens solute carrier family 6 member 8 (SLC6A8), transcript variant 3, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_001142806) RefSeq Summary (NM_001142806): 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]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000430077.6 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000130821.17 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chrX:153,689,467-153,695,327 Size: 5,861 Total Exon Count: 13 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg38 chrX:153,690,458-153,695,214 Size: 4,757 Coding Exon Count: 12
ID:SC6A8_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Sodium- and chloride-dependent creatine transporter 1; Short=CT1; Short=Creatine transporter 1; AltName: Full=Solute carrier family 6 member 8; FUNCTION: Required for the uptake of creatine in muscles and brain. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle and kidney. Also found in brain, heart, colon, testis and prostate. DISEASE: Defects in SLC6A8 are the cause of X-linked creatine deficiency syndrome (XL-CDS) [MIM:300352]. XL-CDS causes developmental delay, hypotonia, mental retardation, seizures, short stature and midface hypoplasia. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) family. SLC6A8 subfamily.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
