Lactate permease family


The lactate permease family is a family of transport proteins belonging to the ion transporter superfamily.

Function

Characterized members of this family possess 15-18 transmembrane segments and are roughly 460-565 amino acyl residues in length.

General transport reaction

Transport reactions catalyzed by functionally characterized members of the LctP family include:
D- or L-lactate or glycolate + H+ → D- or L-lactate or glycolate + H+.
