Trade Name
  • Chemicon
DescriptionAnti-Monocarboxylate Transporter 8 Antibody
Alternate Names
  • MCT8
  • X-linked PEST-containing Transporter
Background InformationMCT8 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.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P36021 # Very active and specific thyroid hormone transporter. Stimulates cellular uptake of thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), reverse triiodothyronine (rT3) and diidothyronine. Does not transport Leu, Phe, Trp or Tyr (By similarity).
SIZE: 539 amino acids; 59511 Da
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (By similarity).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in liver and heart.
DISEASE: SwissProt: P36021 # Defects in SLC16A2 are the cause of monocarboxylate transporter 8 deficiency (MCT8 deficiency) [MIM:300523]. MCT8 deficiency consists of a severe form of X-linked psychomotor retardation combined with abnormal thyroid hormone (TH) levels. Thyroid hormone deficiency can be caused by defects of hormone synthesis and action, but it has also been linked to a defect in cellular hormone transport. Affected patients are males with abnormal relative concentrations of three circulating iodothyronines, as well as severe neurological abnormalities, including global developmental delay, central hypotonia, spastic quadriplegia, dystonic movements, rotary nystagmus, and impaired gaze and hearing. Heterozygous females had a milder thyroid phenotype and no neurological defects.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P36021 ## Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Monocarboxylate porter (TC 2.A.1.13) family.
