solute carrier family 22 (organic cation transporter), member 4

Gene Summary

Enables carnitine transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within carnitine metabolic process; carnitine transport; and triglyceride metabolic process. Located in apical plasma membrane and mitochondrial membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including integumental system; liver; musculoskeletal system; nervous system; and nose. Used to study inflammatory bowel disease 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in rheumatoid arthritis. Orthologous to human SLC22A4 (solute carrier family 22 member 4).
