The monocarboxylate transporter:basigin complex, associated with the plasma membrane, mediates the reversible uptake of extracellular lactate and a hydrogen ion. No chicken transporter capable of mediating this reaction has been experimentally characterized, although open reading frames capable of encoding protein closely similar to components of the human MCT:basigin complex have been identified computationally in the ENSEMBL chicken gene set. This reaction is inferred from its human counterpart.
