Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Sodium-ion dependent, low affinity carnitine transporter. Probably transports one sodium ion with one molecule of carnitine. Also transports organic cations such as tetraethylammonium (TEA) without the involvement of sodium. Relative uptake activity ratio of carnitine to TEA is 1.78. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11010964}.

Subcellular Localization

Membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:11010964}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269PubMed:11010964}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in kidney, liver and testis. Weakly expressed in other tissues. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11010964}.
