The Monocarboxylate Transporter SLC16A6 Regulates Adult Length in Zebrafish and Is Associated With Height in Humans
When fasted as larvae or fed ketogenic diets as adults, homozygous zebrafish slc16a6a mutants develop hepatic steatosis because their livers cannot export the major ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate, diverting liver-trapped ketogenic carbon atoms to triacylglycerol. Here, we find that slc16a6a mutants a...
