It plays an important role in energy production by transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidised to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
The amine and carboxylic acid groups of carnitine are the key groups for OCTN2 to recognize it, and the hydroxyl group of carnitine is esterified by acyl derivatives and does not hinder the recognition effect of OCTN2, indicating that OCTN2 has high substrate diversity and adaptability and is able to process a variety of acylcarnitines [162]
