Function

FUNCTION: Proton-coupled 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. Depending on the tissue and on cicumstances, mediates the import or export of lactic acid and ketone bodies. Required for normal nutrient assimilation, increase of white adipose tissue and body weight gain when on a high-fat diet. Plays a role in cellular responses to a high-fat diet by modulating the cellular levels of lactate and pyruvate, small molecules that contribute to the regulation of central metabolic pathways and insulin secretion, with concomitant effects on plasma insulin levels and blood glucose homeostasis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17701893}.;

Disease

DISEASE: Familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia 7 (HHF7) [MIM:610021]: Dominantly inherited hypoglycemic disorder characterized by inappropriate insulin secretion during anaerobic exercise or on pyruvate load. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17701893}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Monocarboxylate transporter 1 deficiency (MCT1D) [MIM:616095]: A metabolic disorder characterized by recurrent ketoacidosis, a pathologic state due to ketone formation exceeding ketone utilization. The clinical consequences of ketoacidosis are vomiting, osmotic diuresis, dehydration, and Kussmaul breathing. The condition may progress to decreased consciousness and, ultimately, death. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25390740}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
