Lactic acid transport is mediated by a group of proton-linked membrane transporters called monocarboxylic acid transporters (MCTs).
At least 9 MCT-related proteins (MCT1-9) have been identified in mammals that are expressed in a tissue specific manner.
MCT5/SLC16A4 (mouse 468-aa, human 487-aa, chromosome 1p13.1) shares 25% sequence homology with MCT1, but it has much shorter C-terminus than other MCTs.
MCT5 has an Alu insertion even in the 3'-UTR and a truncated C-terminus.
High expression of MCT5 has been observed in placenta.
According to new nomenclature, the old MCT4 has now been reclassified as MCT5.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA.
Western Blot, though not tested, may potentially be used as an application.
Other applications not tested.

仕様
Size：100ug
Host：rabbit
Source Antibody：human
Grade：Affinity Purified
Purity：Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Form：Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, 0.1% BSA. Reconstitute with 100ul sterile PBS.
Specificity：Recognizes human Monocarboxylate Transporter 5 (MCT5/MOT5). Reactivity with other members of the MCT family is unlikely because the immunogen shows no significant sequence homology with other MCTs.
Isotype：IgG
Calc Applications Abbrev：E
Calc Crossreactivity：Hu
Immunogen：Synthetic peptide corresponding to a 19aa sequence within the cytoplasmic domain #4, near the C-terminus of human MCT5 conjugated to KLH. Species Sequence Homology: mouse MCT5, 65%.
