Expression and Localization of Carnitine/Organic Cation Transporter OCTN1 and OCTN2 in Ocular Epithelium

Abstract

This report is the first to document OCTN1 and OCTN2 expression in human corneal and conjunctival epithelial cells. These findings suggest potential involvement of OCTN1 and OCTN2 in the transport of carnitine in ocular tissues.
