Monocarboxylate transporter 11 (SLC16A11)

Proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter. It catalyzes the transport of pyruvate throughout the plasma membrane (PubMed:28666119).

Probably involved in hepatic lipid metabolism: overexpression results in an increase of triacylglycerol(TAG) levels, modest increases in intracellular diacylglycerols and declines in lysophosphatidylcholine, cholesterol ester and sphingomyelin lipids (PubMed:24390345). .
