Also in this tissue, the transport of carnitine is mediated by OCTN2 (Shekhawat et al., 2004)
The available X-ray crystal structures implicate histidine 571 (that arises from the opposing subunit) as being responsible for this deprotonation, as it is the only residue that is proximal to the C154-C159 pair that has the capacity to act as a general base (Figure 2)
Peptides influence how the body reacts to exercise and food intake, making them extremely useful for managing obesity, high blood sugar and other weight-related medical conditions
