General description

MCT8 is an integral membrane protein that is associated with the plasma membrane. A member of the Major Facilitator Superfamily, MCT8 serves as a proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter that catalyzes the rapid transport of monocarboxylates and ketone bodies across the plasma membrane. Expression of MCT8 is greatest in liver and kidney.

Immunogen

A 19 amino acid peptide sequence within the cytoplasmic, C-terminus of mouse MCT8. The immunogen sequence is 94% conserved in rat and 89% in human MCT8 and shows no significant sequence homology with other MCT family members.
