Notes: Cyclocreatine is a planar creatine analog that can passively transit across membranes, including the blood brain barrier, and is phosphorylated and dephosphoryated by mitochondrial and cytosolic creatine kinase.{32329,32327} Cyclocreatine can function as a phosphagen in mouse brain in vivo and has been used to reverse cognitive deficits in Slc6a8-/y mice that lack a functional creatine transporter.{32328}
