| 1 | The gene products octn2 and octn3, which transport carnitine with high affinity, are both expressed in testis, where carnitine is required to maintain sperm cell motility. | Carnitine | solute carrier family 22 (organic cation transporter), member 21 | Mus musculus |
| 2 | The gene products octn2 and octn3, which transport carnitine with high affinity, are both expressed in testis, where carnitine is required to maintain sperm cell motility. | Carnitine | solute carrier family 22 (organic cation transporter), member 21 | Mus musculus |
| 3 | Furthermore, the expressions of both of octn2 and octn3 genes in TM4 cells were up-regulated by palmitic acid, whereas carnitine increased only the expression of octn2 without any change in octn3 expression. | Carnitine | solute carrier family 22 (organic cation transporter), member 21 | Mus musculus |
| 4 | Accordingly, the expressions of octn2 and 3 are regulated by distinct mechanisms, suggesting distinct roles of octn2 and octn3 in carnitine transport. | Carnitine | solute carrier family 22 (organic cation transporter), member 21 | Mus musculus |
