1 SLC22A4 codes for an integral membrane protein, OCTN1, that has been presumed to carry organic cations like tetraethylammonium across the plasma membrane. Tetraethylammonium solute carrier family 22 member 4 Homo sapiens
2 SLC22A4 codes for an integral membrane protein, OCTN1, that has been presumed to carry organic cations like tetraethylammonium across the plasma membrane. Tetraethylammonium solute carrier family 22 member 4 Homo sapiens
3 Because ET is transported >100 times more efficiently than tetraethylammonium and carnitine, we propose the functional name ETT (ET transporter) instead of OCTN1. Tetraethylammonium solute carrier family 22 member 4 Homo sapiens
