SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter, catalyzing the rapid transport across the plasma membrane of many monocarboxylates
	playing an important for lens and kidney homeostasis
	mediates creatine transport, and may function as a guanidinoacetate transporter
	functions as a basolateral exit pathway for creatine in the proximal tubule
