Gene nameSLC16A8
Protein nameMonocarboxylate transporter 3 (MCT 3) (Solute carrier family 16 member 8)
SynonymsMCT3
DescriptionFUNCTION: Probable retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-specific proton-coupled L-lactate transporter (By similarity). May facilitate transport of lactate and H(+) out of the retina and could therefore play a role in pH and ion homeostasis of the outer retina (By similarity). .
