Evolution and developmental expression of the sodium–iodide symporter (NIS, slc5a5) gene family: Implications for perchlorate toxicology
Abstract The vertebrate sodium–iodide symporter (NIS or SLC5A5) transports iodide into the thyroid follicular cells that synthesize thyroid hormone. The SLC5A protein family includes transporters of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. Disruption of SLC5A5 function by perchlorate, a pervasive environm...
