2.A.1.13.15
Monocarboxylate transporter 7 (MCT 7; mTORC1) (Monocarboxylate transporter 6) (MCT 6) (Solute carrier family 16 member 6) of 523 aas and 12 TMSs in a 6 + 6 TMS arrangement. SLC16a6, mTORC1, and autophagy regulate ketone body excretion in intestinal cells (Uebanso et al. 2023). Taurine is a substrate of this system (Higuchi 2024).
