Abstract excerpt
Monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) facilitates cellular uptake and efflux of thyroid hormone (TH). Mutations in MCT8 result in severe intellectual and motor disability known as the Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS). Previous studies have provided valuable insights into the putative mechanism of substrate binding in the inward-open conformation, required for TH efflux. The current study aims to delineate the...
