Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

High affinity carnitine transporter; the uptake is partially sodium-ion dependent. Thought to mediate the L-carnitine secretion mechanism from testis epididymal epithelium into the lumen which is involved in the maturation of spermatozoa. Also transports organic cations such as tetraethylammonium (TEA) and doxorubicin. The uptake of TEA is inhibited by various organic cations. The uptake of doxorubicin is sodium-independent (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}.
