Summary

Enables choline transmembrane transporter activity and ethanolamine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in choline transport; ethanolamine transport; and transmembrane transport. Located in mitochondrial outer membrane and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Forensic Context

A study in mice demonstrated that the SLC44A2 was differentially expressed in hippocampal tissue from male BALB/c mice following dietary methylmercury exposure, as identified through combined proteomic and transcriptomic profiling [Mellingen et al. DOI:10.1093/Mtomcs/Mfab022].
