| Name | SLC6A8 |
|---|---|
| Function | Creatine:sodium symporter which mediates the uptake of creatine (PubMed:17465020, PubMed:22644605, PubMed:25861866, PubMed:7945388, PubMed:7953292, PubMed:9882430). Plays an important role in supplying creatine to the brain via the blood-brain barrier (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Apical cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
| Tissue Location | Predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle and kidney. Also found in brain, heart, colon, testis and prostate |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
