GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC5A12 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MGC52019, SMCT2
Description
Solute carrier family 5 (sodium/monocarboxylate cotransporter), member 12 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene 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]
