Engineering substrate selectivity in the human sodium/iodide symporter (NIS)
2025-10-08
Abstract excerpt
Iodide (I - ) uptake mediated by the Na⁺/I - symporter (NIS) is the first step in the biosynthesis of the thyroid hormones, of which I - is an essential constituent. NIS couples the inward transport of I - against its electrochemical gradient to the inward translocation of Na + down its electrochemical gradient. NIS also transports oxyanions (XO 4 - s), such as perrhenate (ReO 4 - ) and the environmental po...
