MOT3_HUMAN (UniProt)

Gene names: SLC16A8, MCT3
Protein names and data: MOT3_HUMAN, Full=Monocarboxylate transporter 3;Short=MCT 3, Full=Solute carrier family 16 member 8; Length: 504 a.a., Mass: 52319 Da,
fasta formatted sequence

Function: Proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter. Catalyzes the rapid transport across the plasma membrane of many monocarboxylates such as lactate, pyruvate, branched-chain oxo acids derived from leucine, valine and isoleucine, and the ketone bodies acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetate (By similarity)
Cellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
Tissue specificity: Retinal pigment epithelium
