The lactate permease (LctP) family
TC# 2.A.14
is a family of transport
protein Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residue (biochemistry), residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including Enzyme catalysis, catalysing metab ...
s belonging to the ion transporter (IT) superfamily.


Function

Characterized members of this family possess 15-18 transmembrane segments (TMSs) 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 (out) + H+ (out) → D- or L-lactate or glycolate (in) + H+ (in).
