Disease relevance of SLC16A8

  • This hypothesis could explain the REMP reduction in end-stage uremia and its correction with dialysis [1].
  • The influence of intradialytic REMP increase linked to K+ removal also concerns the correction of metabolic acidosis: the acquired bicarbonate during dialysis increases on reducing removal K+ gradient [1].
 

High impact information on SLC16A8

  • Using radiation hybrid mapping, the MCT3 gene was mapped to chromosome 22 between markers WI11639 and SGC30687 [2].
  • The human genomic sequence was used to design primers to clone human MCT3 cDNA and to identify a bacterial artificial chromosome clone containing the human MCT3 gene [2].
  • Comparison of the cDNA and genomic sequences revealed that the MCT3 gene was composed of five exons distributed over 5 kb of DNA [2].
  • The human MCT3 cDNA contained a 1512-nucleotide open reading frame with a deduced amino sequence 85% identical to rat MCT3 [2].
  • The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) expresses a unique member of this family, MCT3 [2].
 

Biological context of SLC16A8

  • A search of chromosome 22 in the Sanger Centre database confirmed the location of the human MCT3 gene at 22q12.3-q13.2 [2].
  • At the same time points, plasma electrolytes, intra-erythrocytic potassium and the electrical membrane potential at rest (REMP) of the erythrocytic membrane were measured [3].
 

Associations of SLC16A8 with chemical compounds

  • The effect of chlorpromazine (CPZ), imipramine (IMP), nitrazepam (NZP) and amobarbital sodium (AMOB) on the REM period of sleep (REMP) was investigated on four subjects by means of all-night sleep polygraphy with the schedule PPPDDDPP where P is placebo and D active drug [4].
