Together with MCT4 and BSG, they facilitate the release of lactate and H+ to the extracellular milieu to neutralize intracellular acidosis in a HIF-1-dependent manner [16], which is associated with a hyperglycolytic and acid-fast phenotype in cancer [14,17,18] and the release of lactate into the extracellular milieu [19]. The gene discussed is BSG; the disease is cancer.
