basic FUNCTION
| playing an important role in the disposition of thyroid hormones in brain and testis |
|
transmembrane receptor that mediates the sodium-independent uptake of thyroid hormones in brain tissues |
|
can transport fenamates (non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs) into brain barrier cells (Westholm 2009) |
|
high affinity for thyroxine, tri-iodothyronine and reverse tri-iodothyronine |
|
SLCO1C1 protein transports thyroid hormone into astrocytes from blood |
|
unique gate-keeper function of SLC16A2 and SLCO1C1 in satellite cells (SCs) activation, underscoring the importance of a finely tuned TH signaling during myogenesis |
