Supplementary information

MCT2 also known as monocarboxylate transporter 2 or SLC16A7 plays a mechanical role in the transport of monocarboxylates such as lactate pyruvate and ketone bodies across cell membranes. With a molecular mass of approximately 53 kDa MCT2 is expressed in various tissues including the brain liver and skeletal muscles. It is in the plasma membrane where it facilitates the rapid exchange of substrates important for energy metabolism in cells.
Biological function summary

MCT2 facilitates the movement of lactate and other monocarboxylates impacting cellular energy production and homeostasis. It may associate with chaperone proteins like basigin or CD147 which assist in its proper localization in the membrane. This transporter plays a role in metabolic communication between cells reflecting its importance in maintaining high-energy demands especially in neurons and muscle cells.

Pathways

MCT2 has a vital function in glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation by mediating lactate transport. It participates in the Cori cycle which integrates with glucose metabolism and works alongside lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to shuttle lactate for gluconeogenesis in the liver. MCT2's operation affects cellular energy balance and tissue responses to metabolic fluctuations.

MCT2 has connections to cancer and neurological disorders such as epilepsy. In cancer altered MCT2 expression affects tumor metabolism and progression interacting with hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) which controls glycolytic enzymes. In neurological conditions deficient or excessive lactate transport by MCT2 could impact neuronal excitability and energy balance potentially linking it to disease-related proteins like glutamate receptors.

Target data

Proton-coupled monocarboxylate symporter. Catalyzes the rapid transport across the plasma membrane of monocarboxylates such as L-lactate, pyruvate and ketone bodies, acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetate (PubMed : 32415067, PubMed : 9786900). Dimerization is functionally required and both subunits work cooperatively in transporting substrate (PubMed : 32415067).
