| Function | Facilitative organic cation transporter that mediates the transport of carnitine as well as the polyamine spermidine. Mediates the partially Na(+)-dependent bidirectional transport of carnitine. May mediate L-carnitine secretion from testis epididymal epithelium into the lumen which is involved in the maturation of spermatozoa. |
