MCT10 likely operates via a '''"rocker-switch" mechanism'''. Comparison with AlphaFold models suggests that the N- and C-terminal bundles move as rigid bodies to alternatingly expose the binding site. A distinct kink in '''TM1''' (residues Gln88 and Asn89) acts as a sensor, likely triggering the conformational switch upon substrate binding. | MCT10 likely operates via a '''"rocker-switch" mechanism'''.
