Most cancer cells showed weak to moderate membranous and cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Several cases of prostate and testicular cancers were strongly stained.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC16A1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MCT, MCT1
Description
Solute carrier family 16 (monocarboxylate transporter), member 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter that catalyzes the movement of many monocarboxylates, such as lactate and pyruvate, across the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene are associated with erythrocyte lactate transporter defect. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
