High impact information on Orct

calderón encodes an organic cation transporter of the major facilitator superfamily required for cell growth and proliferation of Drosophila tissues [1].
The gene giving rise to these alternative transcripts has been named Organic cation transporter-like (Orct) [2].
The complete nucleotide sequences of two of the longest cDNAs were determined and found to encode proteins with similarity to mammalian organic cation transporter (OCT) proteins [2].
Novel human cDNAs homologous to Drosophila Orct and mammalian carnitine transporters [3].
