Preferred Label : Solute Carrier Family 22 Member 5;
MeSH definition : A high-affinity, ATP-binding, co-transporter for CARNITINE that is highly expressed
in kidney, skeletal muscle, heart, and placental tissues. It transports one sodium
ion with one carnitine molecule. It has a lower affinity for other organic cations
and transports them independently of sodium. Mutations in the SLC22A5 gene are associated
with systemic carnitine deficiency.;
