SLC22A16

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: SLC22A16
  • Official Name: solute carrier family 22 member 16
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 85413
  • UniProt: Q86VW1
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • UniProt Summary: 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12089149, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15963465}.
