Expression and Localization of Carnitine/Organic Cation Transporter OCTN1 and OCTN2 in Ocular Epithelium

29 Oct 2008

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The existence of an organic cation transport process in rabbit cornea and conjunctiva that mediates absorption of carnitine has previously been suggested. This study was conducted to determine the expression and localization of the carnitine/organic cation transporter (OCTN1 and OCTN2) in corneal or conjunctival epithelium. METHODS: Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for...
