SLC16A8. also known as monocarboxylate transporter 3 (MCT3), is a member of the solute carrier 16 (SLC16) family, which facilitates the transport of monocarboxylates (e.g., lactate, pyruvate) across cell membranes. Primarily expressed in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and Müller cells of the retina, SLC16A8 plays a critical role in maintaining retinal metabolic homeostasis by regulating lactate shuttling between photoreceptors and supporting cells. This transporter is essential for photoreceptor survival, as it helps remove lactate—a byproduct of glycolysis—from the subretinal space, preventing toxic accumulation and ensuring energy balance in the retina.
Recombinant SLC16A8 protein is engineered for in vitro studies to elucidate its structural and functional properties. Produced using heterologous expression systems (e.g., mammalian, insect, or bacterial cells), the recombinant protein retains key features of the native transporter, including membrane localization and substrate specificity. Researchers employ it to investigate transport kinetics, ligand interactions, and regulatory mechanisms. Its application extends to drug discovery, particularly in identifying modulators for retinal disorders linked to metabolic dysfunction, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or diabetic retinopathy.
Dysregulation of SLC16A8 has been implicated in retinal pathologies, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target. Recombinant variants, including tagged or mutated forms, enable studies on protein-protein interactions, post-translational modifications, and cellular trafficking. Recent advances in cryo-EM and structural biology have further utilized recombinant SLC16A8 to resolve its 3D architecture, offering insights into substrate binding sites and transport mechanisms. These studies underscore its importance in retinal health and pave the way for novel interventions targeting metabolic imbalances in ocular diseases.
