Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable creatine transmembrane transporter activity; monocarboxylic acid transmembrane transporter activity; and uniporter activity. Predicted to be involved in creatine transmembrane transport and creatinine metabolic process. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricle and choroid plexus; endocardial tissue; metanephros; olfactory epithelium; and pancreas. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 47. Orthologous to human SLC16A12 (solute carrier family 16 member 12).
