Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables several functions, including organic cation transmembrane transporter activity; pyrimidine nucleoside transmembrane transporter activity; and toxin transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including acyl carnitine transmembrane transport; monoamine transport; and organic cation transport. Acts upstream of or within monoatomic cation transport; organic cation transport; and transmembrane transport. Located in apical plasma membrane and basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; liver; mammary gland; metanephros; and nasal cavity mucosa. Orthologous to human SLC22A1 (solute carrier family 22 member 1).
