The naturally occurring compatible solutes betaine and L-carnitine allow the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes to adjust to environments of high osmotic strength. Previously, it was demonstrated that L. monocytogenes possesses an ATP-dependent L-carnitine transporter (A. Verheul, F. M. Rombouts, R. R. Beumer, and T. Abee, J. Bacteriol. 177:3205-3212, 1995). The present study reveals th...
Patients receiving hemodialysis also manifest gastrointestinal symptoms, such as constipation, caused by restriction of water intake and the loss of body water balance. Because dietary carnitine deficiency is considered to cause smooth muscle dysmotility of the gastrointestinal tract similarly to that in skeletal muscles, carnitine deficiency in hemodialysis patients may be one cause of gastroi...
This study identifies a novel organic anion transporter Oat9 expressed in mouse liver and kidney. Two variants were detected by screening a mouse liver cDNA library; these varients consist of 1815 (designated Oat9S) and 2165 (Oat9L) base pairs which encode 443 and 551 amino acid proteins, respectively. Oat9S has a predicted structure containing eight transmembrane domains (TMD); whereas, Oat9L ...
The organic cation/ergothioneine transporter OCTN1 (SLC22A4) and the high-affinity carnitine transporter OCTN2 (SLC22A5), play an important role in the disposition of xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. Here, we analyzed the sequence of the proximal promoter regions of OCTN1 and OCTN2 in four ethnic groups and determined the effects of the identified genetic variants on transcriptional activi...
l-Carnitine is derived both from dietary sources and biosynthesis. Dietary carnitine is absorbed in the small intestine and then distributed to other organs. Previous studies using Caco-2 cells demonstrated that the transport of l-carnitine in the intestine involves a carrier-mediated system. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the uptake of l-carnitine in Caco-2 cells is mediate...
A 12-year old boy suffered episodes of vomiting, lethargy, and hypoglycaemia from the age of 1 year. Adhering to a vegetarian diet caused an increase in frequency and severity of the attacks. It was found that he was suffering from systemic carnitine deficiency that responded promptly to treatment with L-carnitine.
Since carnitine plays an important role in fat oxidation, influx of carnitine could be crucial for muscle metabolism. OCTN2 (SLC22A5), a sodium-dependent solute carrier, is assumed to transport carnitine into skeletal muscle cells. Acute regulation of OCTN2 activity in rat hindlimb muscles was investigated in response to electrically induced contractile activity. The tissue uptake clearance (CL...
Carnitine (L-3-hydroxy-4-N-trimethylaminobutyric acid) forms esters with a wide range of acyl groups and functions to transport and excrete these groups. It is found in most cells at millimolar levels after uptake via the sodium-dependent carrier, OCTN2. The acylation state of the mobile carnitine pool is linked to that of the limited and compartmentalised coenzyme A pools by the action of the ...
