Slc22a16 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable amine transmembrane transporter activity; carnitine transmembrane transporter activity; and spermidine transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including carnitine transmembrane transport; flagellated sperm motility; and spermidine transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in cytosol and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SLC22A16 (solute carrier family 22 member 16). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
