SLC6A8 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein solute carrier family 6 member 8, which is encoded by the SLC6A8 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a creatine:sodium symporter, which mediates the uptake of creatine. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 635 residues, a mass of 70.5 kDa, and is a member of the Sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to be highly expressed in the skeletal muscle and kidney. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The SLC6A8 gene has been associated with the disease, Cerebral creatine deficiency syndrome. Other alias names for this target include CCDS1 and CRT.
The detection range for different SLC6A8 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 15.625 pg/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
