Monocarboxylate transporter 11
Definition:
Proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter. It catalyzes the transport of pyruvate across the plasma membrane. Probably involved in hepatic lipid metabolism: overexpression results in an increase of triacylglycerol(TAG) levels, small increases in intracellular diacylglycerols and decreases in lysophosphatidylcholine, cholesterol ester and sphingomyelin lipids.
