== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/S22A4_HUMAN S22A4_HUMAN] Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/S22A4_HUMAN S22A4_HUMAN] Transporter that mediates the transport of endogenous and microbial zwitterions and organic cations (PubMed:10215651, PubMed:15107849, PubMed:15795384, PubMed:16729965, PubMed:20601551, PubMed:22206629, PubMed:22569296, PubMed:29530864). Functions as a Na(+)-dependent and pH-dependent high affinity microbial symporter of potent food-derived antioxidant ergothioeine (PubMed:15795384, PubMed:29530864, PubMed:33124720). Transports one sodium ion with one ergothioeine molecule (By similarity). Involved in the absorption of ergothioneine from the luminal/apical side of the small intestine and renal tubular cells, and into non-parenchymal liver cells, thereby contributing to maintain steady-state ergothioneine level in the body (PubMed:20601551). Also mediates the bidirectional transport of acetycholine, although the exact transport mechanism has not been fully identified yet (PubMed:22206629). Most likely exports anti-inflammatory acetylcholine in non-neuronal tissues, thereby contributing to the non-neuronal cholinergic system (PubMed:22206629, PubMed:22569296). Displays a general physiological role linked to better survival by controlling inflammation and oxidative stress, which may be related to ergothioneine and acetycholine transports (PubMed:15795384, PubMed:22206629). May also function as a low-affinity Na(+)-dependent transporter of L-carnitine through the mitochondrial membrane, thereby maintaining intracellular carnitine homeostasis (PubMed:10215651, PubMed:15107849, PubMed:16729965). May contribute to regulate the transport of cationic compounds in testis across the blood-testis-barrier (PubMed:35307651).[UniProtKB:Q9R141]<ref>PMID:10215651</ref> <ref>PMID:15107849</ref> <ref>PMID:15795384</ref> <ref>PMID:16729965</ref> <ref>PMID:20601551</ref> <ref>PMID:22206629</ref> <ref>PMID:22569296</ref> <ref>PMID:29530864</ref> <ref>PMID:35307651</ref>
