SLC16A5, Official Symbol SLC16A5provided by HGNC Official Full Name solute carrier family 16 member 5provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:10926 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000170190 MIM:603879; AllianceGenome:HGNC:10926 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 MCT5; MCT6 Summary This gene encodes a member of the monocarboxylate transporter family and the major facilitator superfamily. The encoded protein is localized to the cell membrane and acts as a proton-linked transporter of bumetanide. Transport by the encoded protein is inhibited by four loop diuretics, nateglinide, thiazides, probenecid, and glibenclamide. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
