Abstract excerpt
Organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1C1 has been characterized as a specific thyroid hormone transporter. Based on its expression in capillaries in different brain regions, OATP1C1 is thought to play a key role in transporting thyroid hormone across the blood-brain barrier. For this reason, we studied the specificity of iodothyronine transport by OATP1C1 in detail by analysis of thyroid hormone uptake...
