    Summary
    Enables organic cation transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in determination of adult lifespan and organic cation transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in body wall musculature; intestine; nervous system; and pharyngeal-intestinal valve. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Crohn's disease; acute kidney failure; cardiomyopathy; rheumatoid arthritis; and systemic primary carnitine deficiency disease. Orthologous to several human genes including SLC22A4 (solute carrier family 22 member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
