SLC22A4 - solute carrier family 22 member 4
Function
Sodium-ion dependent transporter of various organic cationic compounds. A key substrate of this transporter is ergothioneine (ET) (PubMed:15795384). Able to transport carnitine, probably moving one sodium ion with one molecule of carnitine. Also transports tetraethylammonium (TEA) without the involvement of sodium. May also contribute to regulate the transport of cationic compounds in testis across the blood-testis-barrier (PubMed:35307651).
