Abstract excerpt
MCT1 (SLC16A1), MCT4 (SLC16A3), and MCT11 (SLC16A11) are members of the monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) family. MCT1 and MCT4 transport pH-related monocarboxylates, such as lactate and pyruvate. MCT11 may also be a proton-coupled monocarboxylate transporter. Although alterations of these substrates are involved in the pathology of cancer and diabetes, little is known about MCT polymorphisms. In this study,...
