About SLC5A12

Cytogenetic location: 11p14.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:26,667,020-26,723,389 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 173 orthologues and 11 paralogues. Restricted expression toward kidney (RPKM 72.2).

Summary

Normal blood lactate is maintained at about 1.5 mM, and little filtered lactate is excreted in urine. Reabsorption of lactate is mediated by the low-affinity Na(+)-coupled lactate transporter SLC5A12 in the initial part of the proximal tubule and by the high-affinity Na(+)-coupled lactate transporter SLC5A8 (MIM 608044) in the distal proximal tubule (Gopal et al., 2007 [PubMed 17692818]).[supplied by OMIM, Dec 2008]
