{"symbol":"SLC16A5","synonyms":["MCT5"],"name":"solute carrier family 16 (monocarboxylate transporter), member 5","description":"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.
