SLC22A5

Also known as OCTN2SCD
Summary
SLC22A5 (solute carrier family 22 member 5, HGNC:10969) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q31.1, encoding Organic cation/carnitine transporter 2 (O76082). Sodium-ion dependent, high affinity carnitine transporter.
Polyspecific organic cation transporters in the liver, kidney, intestine, and other organs are critical for elimination of many endogenous small organic cations as well as a wide array of drugs and environmental toxins. The encoded protein is a plasma integral membrane protein which functions both as an organic cation transporter and as a sodium-dependent high affinity carnitine transporter. The encoded protein is involved in the active cellular uptake of carnitine. Mutations in this gene are the cause of systemic primary carnitine deficiency (CDSP), an autosomal recessive disorder manifested early in life by hypoketotic hypoglycemia and acute metabolic decompensation, and later in life by skeletal myopathy or cardiomyopathy. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Sodium-ion dependent, high affinity carnitine transporter. Involved in the active cellular uptake of carnitine. Transports one sodium ion with one molecule of carnitine. Also transports organic cations such as tetraethylammonium (TEA) without the involvement of sodium. Relative uptake activity ratio of carnitine to TEA is 11.3. In intestinal epithelia, transports the quorum-sensing pentapeptide CSF (competence and sporulation factor) from B.subtilis which induces cytoprotective heat shock proteins contributing to intestinal homeostasis. May also contribute to regulate the transport of organic compounds in testis across the blood-testis-barrier. Retained in the ER, unable to perform carnitine uptake.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with PDZK1.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Apical cell membrane. Basal cell membrane Endoplasmic reticulum.
Tissue specificity. Strongly expressed in kidney, skeletal muscle, heart and placenta. Primarily expressed by surface epithelial cells of the colon (at protein level). Expressed in CD68 macrophage and CD43 T-cells but not in CD20 B-cells. In testis, localized to Sertoli cell basal membranes, peritubular myoid cells and Leydig cells.
Post-translational modifications. Glycosylated. Glycosylation affects the expression levels. Not glycosylated.
Disease relevance. Systemic primary carnitine deficiency (CDSP) [MIM:212140] Autosomal recessive disorder of fatty acid oxidation caused by defective carnitine transport. Present early in life with hypoketotic hypoglycemia and acute metabolic decompensation, or later in life with skeletal myopathy or cardiomyopathy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Expression in colon is increased in Crohn’s disease and human ulcerative colitis (at protein level).
Activity regulation. Inhibited by emetine, quinidine and verapamil. The IC(50) of emetine is 4.2 uM. Not inhibited by valproic acid. Transport of (R)-carnitine is stimulated by cholesterol in the plasma membrane.
Induction. Intestinal expression is induced by IFNG.
Similarity. Belongs to the major facilitator (TC 2.A.1) superfamily. Organic cation transporter (TC 2.A.1.19) family.
