| Application: | Anti-SLC6A8 polyclonal antibody is used to tag solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter, creatine), member 8for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter, creatine), member 8 in creatine homeostasis and the development of creatine-deficiency syndrome. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Anti-SLC6A8 polyclonal antibody reacts with bovine, canine, human, mouse, rat, pig, and rabbit sodium- and chloride-dependent creatine transporter 1 proteins |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | SLC6A8 is required for the uptake of creatine in muscles and brain. |

| General description: | Solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter, creatine), member 8/sodium- and chloride-dependent creatine transporter 1 (SLC6A8, CRTR, CT1) is required for the cellular uptake of creatine, which facilitates the storage of energy as ATP. Defects in SLC6A8/CRTR leads to creatine-deficiency syndrome evidenced by mental retardation and language delay. |
