Cell membrane thyroid hormone (TH) transport can be facilitated by the monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8), encoded by the solute carrier family 16 member 2 (SLC16A2) gene. Human mutations of the gene, SLC16A2, result in the X-linked-inherited psychomotor retardation and hypomyelination disorder, Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS). We posited that abrogating MCT8-dependent TH transport limits...
