Expression of Na<sup>+</sup>/I<sup>−</sup>Symporter and Pendred Syndrome Genes in Trophoblast Cells<sup>1</sup>
1 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
Placental iodide transport is critical for the fetal thyroid function, but the molecular mechanisms of this transport are not understood. The expression of two recently identified iodide transporters, namely the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) and pendrin, the product of the gene responsible for the Pendred syndrome (PDS), was studied using real-time kinetic quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry 1) in placental...
