General Information and Variability Data of DT
DT ID	DTD0111
Gene Name	SLC16A7
Protein Name	Monocarboxylate transporter 2
Synonyms	Solute carrier family 16 member 7; MCT 2; SLC16A7; MCT2
Gene ID	9194
UniProt ID	O60669
TCDB ID	2.A.1.13.5
DT Family	Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS)
	Monocarboxylate Transporter (MCT) Family
Tissue Specificity	Detected in heart and in blood lymphocytes and monocytes (at protein level). High expression in testis, moderate to low in spleen, heart, kidney, pancreas, skeletal muscle, brain and Leukocyte. Restricted expression in normal tissues, but widely expressed in cancer cells.
Function	This transporter functions as high-affinity pyruvate transporter, and this proton-coupled monocarboxylate transporter can catalyzes the rapid transport across the plasma membrane of many monocarboxylates such as lactate, pyruvate, branched-chain oxo acids derived from leucine, valine and isoleucine, and the ketone bodies acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetate.
