Gene nameSLC16A12
Protein nameSolute carrier family 16 member 12
Monocarboxylate transporter 12 (MCT 12) (Creatine transporter 2) (CRT2) (Solute carrier family 16 member 12)
SynonymsMCT12
DescriptionFUNCTION: Functions as a transporter for creatine and as well for its precursor guanidinoacetate. Transport of creatine and GAA is independent of resting membrane potential and extracellular Na(+), Cl(-), or pH. Contributes to the process of creatine biosynthesis and distribution. .
