Genetic expression of monocarboxylate transporters during human and murine oocyte maturation and early embryonic development

Abstract excerpt

During the early preimplantationes of human embryos, pyruvate and lactate, but not glucose, are the preferred energy substrates. Transport of these monocarboxylates is mediated, in mammalian cells, by a family of transporters, designated as monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs). Human and mouse genetic expression of MCT members 1, 2, 3, 4 and basigin, a chaperone protein of MCT1 and MCT4, was qualitatively analysed...
