Glad to share a new story on how Lac-Phe enters the bloodstream from the gut: a monocarboxylate transporter MCT6 does the job! Interestingly, within the same SLC16 family, MCT1 transports lactate, and MCT10 transports Phe. Thanks to all collaborators who made this work possible!
Lac-Phe is an exercise💪 and metformin💊 inducible blood-borne metabolite that suppresses appetite. How does Lac-Phe get into circulation? New from @Shuke_Xiao: a transporter deorphanization story that links local cellular metabolism to systemic activity: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
