SLC22A14 is a gene that encodes a protein in the human body. It is part of the solute carrier family of proteins, which are responsible for transporting various substances across biological membranes. The SLC22A14 protein is specifically involved in the transport of organic cations, which are positively charged molecules.

Function[edit]

The exact function of the SLC22A14 protein is not fully understood. However, it is known to be involved in the transport of organic cations. These molecules can include a wide variety of substances, such as hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and metabolic waste products. By transporting these substances across cell membranes, the SLC22A14 protein plays a crucial role in many biological processes.

Clinical significance[edit]

Mutations in the SLC22A14 gene have been associated with various health conditions. For example, some studies have suggested a link between SLC22A14 mutations and infertility. However, more research is needed to fully understand the clinical significance of this gene.
