Gene: SLC16A5

Alternate names for this Gene: MCT5|MCT6

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the monocarboxylate transporter family and the major facilitator superfamily. The encoded protein is localized to the cell membrane and acts as a proton-linked transporter of bumetanide. Transport by the encoded protein is inhibited by four loop diuretics, nateglinide, thiazides, probenecid, and glibenclamide. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q25.1

Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 16 member 5

Type of Gene: protein-coding
