Protein function (UniProt)

Sodium- and chloride-dependent creatine transporter 1

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)
