Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a member of the organic zwitterion transporter protein family which transports carnitine. The encoded protein has also been shown to transport anticancer drugs like bleomycin (PMID: 20037140) successful treatment has been correlated with

Protein name Solute carrier family 22 member 16 (Carnitine transporter 2) (CT2) (Fly-like putative transporter 2) (FLIPT2) (Flipt 2) (Organic cation transporter OKB1) (Organic cation/carnitine transporter 6)
Protein function Facilitative organic cation transporter that mediates the transport of carnitine as well as the polyamine spermidine (PubMed:12089149, PubMed:20037140). Mediates the partially Na(+)-dependent bidirectional transport of carnitine (PubMed:12089149
