Monocarboxylate transporters: past, present, and future.
We review here the 14 members of the Monocarboxylate transporter family (MCTs), their relationship based on sequence homology. The range of substrates transported by different members of this family extends from the standard monocarboxylate metabolites, lactic and pyruvic acids, to aromatic amino acids and thyroid hormones. The family is denoted Solute

Expression, purification and crystallization of an SLC16 monocarboxylate transporter family homologue specific for l-lactate. [PDF]
l-lactate plays an important role as metabolite and signaling molecule in eukaryotes and bacteria. Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) of the SLC16 solute carrier family are responsible for the transport of l-lactate across eukaryotic and bacterial cell ...

Lactate transport in red blood cells by monocarboxylate transporters [PDF]
Summary The lactate transport activity of red blood cells (RBC) varies widely among different species; in equine RBC, the activity of the main lactate carrier, H + ‐monocarboxylate co‐transporter (MCT), is distributed bimodally. The influence of lactate transport activity is

Monocarboxylate Transporter 1 (MCT1) in Liver Pathology [PDF]
Membrane monocarboxylate transporter 1 (SLC16A1/MCT1) plays an important role in hepatocyte homeostasis, as well as drug handling. However, there is no available information about the impact of liver pathology on the transporter levels and function. The study was aimed to quantify SLC16A1 mRNA (qRT-PCR) and MCT1 protein abundance (liquid chromatography–

Restricting Glycolysis Preserves T Cell Effector Functions and Augments Checkpoint Therapy
Summary: Tumor-derived lactic acid inhibits T and natural killer (NK) cell function and, thereby, tumor immunosurveillance. Here, we report that melanoma patients with high expression of glycolysis-related genes show a worse progression free survival ...

Mechanistic basis of L-lactate transport in the SLC16 solute carrier family
The transport of L-lactate across plasma membranes is catalyzed by proton-driven monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) of the SLC16 solute carrier family.

Targeting uptake transporters for cancer imaging and treatment
Cancer cells reprogram their gene expression to promote growth, survival, proliferation, and invasiveness. The unique expression of certain uptake transporters in cancers and their innate function to concentrate small molecular substrates in cells make ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Thyroid hormone transporters: from molecules to patients [PDF]
The studies in this doctoral thesis focus on thyroid hormone transporters, specifically monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) 8. The studies cover the whole spectrum from molecular studies on MCT8 structure and function to a phase II clinical trial with the ...
