Pharmacological manipulation of L-carnitine transport into L6 cells with stable overexpression of human OCTN2

Abstract.  The high-affinity Na+-dependent carnitine transporter OCTN2 (SLC22A5) has a high renal expression and reabsorbs most filtered carnitine. To gain more insight into substrate specificity of OCTN2, we overexpressed hOCTN2 in L6 c
