Abstract excerpt
The novel organic cation transporter 1 (OCTN1) is a multispecific, bidirectional and pH-dependent organic cation transporter with low carnitine transport activity. It is a transporter of the physiological substance ergothioneine and mediates the transport of a variety of organic cations such as tetraethylammonium, pyrilamine and quinidine. This study identifies genetic variations of the SLC22A4 gene in two...
