UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter. May catalyze the transport of monocarboxylates across the plasma membrane.

Subcellular location. Golgi apparatus membrane. Cell membrane.

Disease relevance. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) [MIM:125853] A multifactorial disorder of glucose homeostasis caused by a lack of sensitivity to insulin. Affected individuals usually have an obese body habitus and manifestations of a metabolic syndrome characterized by diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia. The disease results in long-term complications that affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

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