Function | Sodium-ion dependent, high affinity carnitine transporter. Involved in the active cellular uptake of carnitine. Transports one sodium ion with one molecule of carnitine (PubMed:10454528, PubMed:10525100, PubMed:10966938, PubMed:17509700, PubMed:20722056, PubMed:33124720). Also transports organic cations such as tetraethylammonium (TEA) without the involvement of sodium. Relative uptake activity ratio of carnitine to TEA is 11.3 (PubMed:10454528, PubMed:10525100, PubMed:10966938). In intestinal epithelia, transports the quorum-sensing pentapeptide CSF (competence and sporulation factor) from B.subtilis which induces cytoprotective heat shock proteins contributing to intestinal homeostasis (PubMed:18005709). May also contribute to regulate the transport of organic compounds in testis across the blood-testis-barrier (Probable). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Apical cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Basal cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=In intestinal cells, apical expression is induced by TNF. Localized to the basal membrane of Sertoli cells (PubMed:35307651). |
Tissue Location | Strongly expressed in kidney, skeletal muscle, heart and placenta (PubMed:10454528). Primarily expressed by surface epithelial cells of the colon (at protein level) (PubMed:18005709) Expressed in CD68 macrophage and CD43 T-cells but not in CD20 B-cells (PubMed:10454528). In testis, localized to Sertoli cell basal membranes, peritubular myoid cells and Leydig cells (PubMed:35307651) |
