About SLC16A8

Cytogenetic location: 22q13.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 22:38,078,137-38,084,184 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 170 orthologues and 13 paralogues. Broad expression in prostate (RPKM 2.1), testis (RPKM 0.9) and 20 other tissues.

Summary

SLC16A8 is a member of a family of proton-coupled monocarboxylate transporters that mediate lactate transport across cell membranes (Yoon et al., 1999 [PubMed 10493836]).[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2010]
