Overview of Gene Research
Slc16a7, encoding monocarboxylate transporter 2 (MCT2), catalyzes the proton-linked transport of monocarboxylates like l-lactate, pyruvate and ketone bodies across the plasma membrane, and is involved in energy metabolism pathways in various tissues [2]. It plays a role in multiple biological processes and is associated with different diseases.
In chicken, Slc16a7 promotes triglyceride deposition by de novo lipogenesis in muscle tissue, highlighting a potential intramuscular fat deposition pathway [1]. In prostate cancer, selective demethylation of an internal Slc16a7 promoter leads to protein over-expression, and its knockdown attenuates PCa cell growth, suggesting a link to oncogenic pathways [4]. In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, patients with low Slc16a7 expression have a higher risk of occult lymph node metastases [3].
In conclusion, Slc16a7 is crucial for monocarboxylate transport and energy metabolism. Its dysregulation is associated with diseases such as cancer and abnormal lipid deposition in muscle. Research on Slc16a7 provides insights into the underlying mechanisms of these conditions, which may contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies.
