Carnitine 26-35 solute carrier family 6 member 13 Rattus norvegicus 114-119 19679820-11 2009 Accordingly, the present study clearly demonstrates that GBB is taken up by hepatocytes for carnitine biosynthesis not only via Octn2 but also via the GABA transporter, possibly Gat2. Carnitine 92-101 solute carrier family 6 member 13 Rattus norvegicus 178-182
