Background:
Lactic acid and pyruvate transport across plasma membranes is catalyzed by members of the proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) family , which has been designated solute carrier family-16. Each MCT appears to have slightly different substrate and inhibitor specificities and transport kinetics , which are related to the metabolic requirements of the tissues in which it is found. The MCTs , which include MCT1 (SLC16A1; MIM 600682) and MCT2 (SLC16A7; MIM 603654) , are characterized by 12 predicted transmembrane domains (Price et al. , 1998 [PubMed 9425115]) .[supplied by OMIM , Mar 2008] ,
