Human Monocarboxylate Transporter 3 (SLC16A8) ELISA Kit | MCT3 elisa kit
Human Monocarboxylate Transporter 3 (SLC16A8) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: SLC16A8 is a member of a family of proton-coupled monocarboxylate transporters that mediate lactate transport across cell membranes. The deduced 504-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 52.3 kD. MCT3 has 12 putative transmembrane domains and a long cytoplasmic loop between transmembrane domains 6 and 7. MCT3 shares 85% and 62% identity with rat and chicken Mct3, respectively, and highest similarity is in the transmembrane region. PCR analysis detected MCT3 in RPE RNA, but not in neural retina RNA, suggesting that in human, as in chicken and rat, the expression of MCT3 is restricted to RPE.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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]
Uniprot Description
Function: Proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter. Catalyzes the rapid transport across the plasma membrane of many monocarboxylates such as lactate, pyruvate, branched-chain oxo acids derived from leucine, valine and isoleucine, and the ketone bodies acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetate
By similarity.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Product Notes
The Human MCT3 slc16a8 (Catalog #AAA9714289) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9714289 ELISA Kit recognizes Human MCT3. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Monocarboxylate Transporter 3 (SLC16A8), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
