SLC16A1, Official Symbol SLC16A1provided by HGNC Official Full Name solute carrier family 16 member 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:10922 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000155380 MIM:600682; AllianceGenome:HGNC:10922 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as MCT; HHF7; MCT1; MCT1D Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter that catalyzes the movement of many monocarboxylates, such as lactate and pyruvate, across the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene are associated with erythrocyte lactate transporter defect. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009] Expression Broad expression in heart (RPKM 23.3), colon (RPKM 22.1) and 23 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
