Gene: SLC16A1

Alternate names for this Gene: HHF7|MCT|MCT1|MCT1D

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter that catalyzes the movement of many monocarboxylates, such as lactate and pyruvate, across the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene are associated with erythrocyte lactate transporter defect. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p13.2

Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 16 member 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
