The slc16a12 gene encodes a monocarboxylate transporter protein localized to the plasma membrane. This transporter facilitates the movement of monocarboxylates such as lactate and ketone bodies. It is expressed in the eye, particularly associated with the lens, where it may function in solute transport related to lens transparency. Expression is also detected in the kidney, implicating a role in organic anion transport. [-]
