SLC16A5

Solute carrier family 16, member 5 (monocarboxylic acid transporter 6) is a is_associated_with::protein in humans that is encoded by the SLC16A5 is_associated_with::gene.

This gene encodes a member of the monocarboxylate transporter family and the major facilitator superfamily. The encoded protein is localized to the cell membrane and acts as a proton-linked transporter of bumetanide. Transport by the encoded protein is inhibited by four loop diuretics, nateglinide, thiazides, probenecid, and glibenclamide. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
