Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
SLC16A8 is a member of a family of proton-coupled monocarboxylate transporters that mediate lactate transport across cell membranes (Yoon et al., 1999 [PubMed 10493836]).[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2010]

Protein name Monocarboxylate transporter 3 (MCT 3) (Solute carrier family 16 member 8)
Protein function 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
