SLC16A3: cDNA Clones

Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), including SLC16A3, are transmembrane proteins capable of transferring lactate and other endogenous and exogenous monocarboxylates across the cell membrane. SLC16A3 is expressed in the human corneal epithelium and immortalized HCE cells at mRNA and protein levels. Monocarboxylate transport was functional in the human corneal epithelial cells and rabbit cornea and it may play a role in ocular drug absorption.
