Abstract excerpt
The maintenance of cochlear homeostasis requires precise metabolic regulation, yet the specific roles of monocarboxylate transporters in auditory function remain poorly understood. Monocarboxylate transporter 6 (Mct6), encoded by Slc16a5, is a membrane transporter of the solute carrier 16 family involved in the cellular transport of metabolites related to energy metabolism and signaling. Here, we investigated the...
