protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Gene data

SLC16A5

Name: solute carrier family 16 member 5
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: MCT5, MCT6

This gene encodes a member of the monocarboxylate transporter family and the major facilitator superfamily. The encoded protein is localized to the cell membrane and acts as a proton-linked transporter of bumetanide. Transport by the encoded protein is inhibited by four loop diuretics, nateglinide, thiazides, probenecid, and glibenclamide. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
