Gene Name:

TMLHE

Uniprot ID:

Q0VC74

Molecular weight:

49837.0

Reactions

General function:

Carbohydrate transport and metabolism

Specific function:

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 (By similarity).

Gene Name:

SLC22A16
