Human Sodium-And Chloride-Dependent Creatine Transporter 1 (SLC6A8) ELISA Kit | SLC6A8 elisa kit
Human Sodium-And Chloride-Dependent Creatine Transporter 1 (SLC6A8) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: The creatine-phosphocreatine shuttle has important functions in the temporal and spatial maintenance of the energy supply to skeletal and cardiac muscle. Muscle cells do not synthesize creatine, but take it up via a special sodium-dependent transporter, the creatine transporter (SLC6A8). In mouse skin, they found high amounts of cytosolic brain CK (CKB) coexpressed with lower amounts of ubiquitous mitochondrial CK (CKMT1B), both mainly localized in suprabasal layers of the dermis, different cell types of hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and the subcutaneous panniculus carnosus muscle. Except for sebaceous glands, these cells also expressed CRT. Ckb and Crt were upregulated about 3-fold immediately after wounding of mouse skin, whereas the amount of Ckmt1b increased 10 to 15 days after wounding.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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]
Uniprot Description
SLC6A8: Required for the uptake of creatine in muscles and brain. Defects in SLC6A8 are the cause of X-linked creatine deficiency syndrome (XL-CDS). XL-CDS causes developmental delay, hypotonia, mental retardation, seizures, short stature and midface hypoplasia. Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) family. SLC6A8 subfamily. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human SLC6A8 slc6a8 (Catalog #AAA9714256) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9714256 ELISA Kit recognizes Human SLC6A8. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Sodium-And Chloride-Dependent Creatine Transporter 1 (SLC6A8), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
