Functional Characterization of Ergothioneine Transport by Rat Organic Cation/Carnitine Transporter Octn1 (slc22a4)

1 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

It has been reported that organic cation/carnitine transporter 1 (OCTN1) is associated with rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. Additionally, we reported that OCTN1 is expressed in hematopoietic cells, and is associated with proliferation and differentiation of erythroid cells. However, physiological role of OCTN1 is still unclear. Ergothioneine, an anti-oxidant, was recently reported to be a good substrate...
