Creatine transporter deficiency leads to increased whole body and cellular metabolism

MK Perna, AN Kokenge, KN Miles, KC Udobi, JF Clark… - Amino acids, 2016 - Springer
Creatine (Cr) is a guanidino compound required for rapid replenishment of ATP in cells with
a high-energy demand. In humans, mutations in the Cr transporter (CRT;SLC6A8) prevent …
