Gene Information

human ... SLC16A3(9123)

Specificity

Recognizes human Monocarboxylate Transporter 4 (MCT4). The immunogen shows no significant sequence homology with other MCT. MCT4 is prominently expressed in skeletal muscle and other cells with high glycolytic rate such as tumors cells and white blood cells suggesting an important role in lactic acid efflux.

Note: According to new nomenclature, the old MCT3 has now been reclassified as MCT4. Consult Halestrap and Price (1999) Biochem. J. 343:281-299.

Immunogen

A 19 amino acid peptide sequence within the cytoplasmic domain #4 of human MCT4 (Wilson et al., 1998; Price et al., 1998).

Application

Anti-Monocarboxylate Transporter 4 Antibody detects level of Monocarboxylate Transporter 4 & has been published & validated for use in ELISA & WB.

Tumour cells are known to be highly glycolytic, thus producing high amounts of lactic acid. Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), by promoting the efflux of the accumulating acids, constitute one of the most important mechanisms in the maintenance of tumour intracellular pH.

In the setting of "living high," it is unclear whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) should be performed "low" or "high" to stimulate muscular and performance adaptations. Therefore, 10 physically active males participated in a 5-week "live high-train low or high"

What is the central question of this study? Following a training intervention, how is the interpretation of adaptations in skeletal muscle H+ transporters influenced by biopsy timing in the context of individual protein and mRNA kinetics after the final exercise
