| UniProt Protein Function: | SLC16A12: Proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter. Catalyzes the rapid transport across the plasma membrane of many monocarboxylates. Defects in SLC16A12 are a cause of cataract juvenile with microcornea and glucosuria (CJMG). Renal glucosuria is defined by elevated glucose level in the urine without hyperglycemia and without evidence of morphological renal anomalies. Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Monocarboxylate porter (TC 2.A.1.13) family.Protein type: Transporter, SLC family; Membrane protein, integral; Membrane protein, multi-pass; TransporterChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 10q23.31Cellular Component: integral to plasma membraneMolecular Function: creatine transporter activity; lactate transmembrane transporter activity; symporter activityDisease: Cataract, Juvenile, With Microcornea And Glucosuria |
| UniProt Protein Details: | |
| NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a transmembrane transporter that likely plays a role in monocarboxylic acid transport. A mutation in this gene has been associated with juvenile cataracts with microcornea and renal glucosuria. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010] |
