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%[1] reabsorption in the proximal tubule.

Apical
- Na-monocarboxylate cotransporter
- 3Na-dicarboxylate cotransporter
- 3Na-tricarboxylate cotransporter
Basolateral
