A carboxylate transporter is a membrane transport protein that transports carboxylate.
They are responsible for the reabsorption of filtered carboxylate in renal physiology, resulting in a 100% reabsorption in the proximal tubule.
In proximal tubule
In the renal proximal tubule, there are several kinds of carboxylate transporters in the apical membrane and the basolateral membrane.
= Apical
=Na-monocarboxylate cotransporter
3Na-dicarboxylate cotransporter
3Na-tricarboxylate cotransporter
= Basolateral
=H-monocarboxylate cotransporter
organic anion-dicarboxylate exchanger
