The gene SLC16A3 (solute carrier family 16 member 3) is mapped to human chromosome 17q25.3. It belongs to the SLC16A family and is a transmembrane protein. SLC16A3 is expressed in testis, small intestine, lung, brain, heart, kidney, and spleen. SLC16A3 is commonly referred to as MCT4 (monocarboxylate transporter 4).
Synonyms: Anti-MCT 3; Anti-MCT 4; Anti-Monocarboxylate transporter 3; Anti-Monocarboxylate transporter 4; Anti-Solute carrier family 16 member 3
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-SLC16A3 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in: immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence (IF) confocal microscopy to stain human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs)-short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting TP53(shp53 (shp53)-V5-TMPRSS11B cells.
Biochem Physiol Actions: MCTs (monocarboxylate transporters) are important for transporting lactate and other monocarboxylates across the cell membrane. MCT4/SLC16A3 (solute carrier family 16 member 3) is involved in the transport of ?-hydroxybutyric acid and L-lactate. SLC16A3 is up-regulated in triple negative breast cancer. It is responsible for maintenance of pH, lactate secretion and non-oxidative metabolism of glucose in cancer cells. In similar manner, androgens induce glycolytic metabolism and lactate export in prostate cancer cells by regulating SLC16A3 expression.
