Slc16a12 - solute carrier family 16 (monocarboxylic acid transporters), member 12

Predicted to enable creatine transmembrane transporter activity and monocarboxylic acid transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in creatine transmembrane transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricle and choroid plexus; endocardial tissue; metanephros; olfactory epithelium; and pancreas. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 47. Orthologous to human SLC16A12 (solute carrier family 16 member 12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
