MCT4 is a high affinity transporter capable of exporting lactate in high-lactate environments
2019-03-27
Abstract excerpt
MCT4 is an H + -coupled transporter expressed in metastatic cancer cells, macrophages, and other highly glycolytic cells, where it extrudes excess lactate generated by the Warburg phenomenon or by hypoxia. Intriguingly, its reported K m for lactate, obtained with pH-sensitive probes, is more than an order of magnitude higher than physiological lactate. Here we examined MCT4-rich MDA-MB-231 cells using the FRET s...
