Thyroid Na+/I− Symporter

Abstract: The rat thyroid Na ؉ /I ؊ symporter (NIS) was expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes and characterized using electrophysiological, tracer uptake, and electron microscopic methods. NIS activity was found to be electrogenic and Na ؉ -dependent (Na ؉ > > Li ؉ > > H ؉ ). The apparent affinity constants for Na ؉ and I ؊ were 28 ؎ 3 mM and 33 ؎ 9 M, respectively. Stoichiometry of Na Transporter density in the plasma membrane was determined using freeze-fracture electron microscopy. Expression of NIS in oocytes led to a… Show more

“…These data indicate that decreases in current were partly due to decreased proton concentrations at the immediate proximity of the extracellular membrane. Decreases in current during perfusion may be due to intracellular substrate or H ϩ accumulation (trans-inhibition), in analogy to observations for other transporters (34,35). None of these factors are expected to compromise the accuracy of stoichiometry determination.…”

“…Más del 90% es absorbido durante los primeros 60 min. Se distribuye en la sangre como un ion extracelular, similar al cloruro, para incorporarse a las células gracias al cotransportador Na + /I -(NIS) 8 . El NIS es una proteína de la membrana basolateral de la célula folicular que cotransporta dos iones de sodio y un ion yoduro.…”
