Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the thyroid hormone (TH) transporter monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) result in severe intellectual and motor disability. At present, no effective therapy is available to restore TH signaling in MCT8-dependent tissues. Recent in vitro studies in stable overexpression cell models suggested that the function of certain mutant MCT8 proteins, specifically those that affect protein stability and...
