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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12089149, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15963465}. |MFS 1| |Sugar tr| |amine transmembrane transporter activity| |carnitine transmembrane transport| |carnitine transmembrane transporter activity| |carnitine transport| |amino-acid betaine transport| |amine transport| |organic cation transmembrane transporter activity| |quaternary ammonium group transport| |ammonium transmembrane transport| |modified amino acid transport| |organic cation transport| |ammonium transport| |flagellated sperm motility| |sperm motility| |acid secretion| |cilium or flagellum-dependent cell motility| |cilium-dependent cell motility| |single fertilization| |fertilization| |spermatogenesis| |male gamete generation| |cation transmembrane transport| |gamete generation| |multicellular organismal reproductive process| |cation transport| |sexual reproduction| |multicellular organism reproduction| |ion transmembrane transport| |multi-organism reproductive process| |localization of cell| |cell motility| |secretion| |transmembrane transport| |locomotion| |ion transport| |reproductive process| |reproduction| |movement of cell or subcellular component| |nitrogen compound transport| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
