SLC16A3

Domain

Two basolateral sorting signals (BSS) in its C-terminal cytoplasmic tail are required to direct SLC16A3 to the basolateral membrane.

Function

Proton-dependent transporter of monocarboxylates such as L-lactate and pyruvate (PubMed:11101640, PubMed:23935841, PubMed:31719150). Plays a predominant role in L-lactate efflux from highly glycolytic cells (By similarity).

Sequence Similarities

Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Monocarboxylate porter (TC 2.A.1.13) family.

Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in skeletal muscle.

Cellular localization

Alternative names

MCT3, MCT4, SLC16A3, Monocarboxylate transporter 4, MCT 4, Solute carrier family 16 member 3
