Yes, because it has its own transporter in the mitochondria and doesn't need PTH.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
because getting lactate into the mitochondrial Network requires an MCT so we were bold enough to look at the mitochondria and find MCTS so people think well it's just on the cell me membrane and it's good for E uh export and that's true but uh in um oxidative muscle fibers with a abundance of Transporters many of them are in the mitochondria so the lactate will move into the mitochondria as well as can be exported
And our unique contribution was to find that not only are they in the plasma membranes of muscles and heart and other tissues, but they're also in the mitochondria. They are the lactate/pyruvate transporter.
