Anion Selectivity by the Sodium Iodide Symporter [PDF]
Abstract The iodide transporter of the thyroid (NIS) has been cloned by the group of Carrasco. The NIS-mediated transport was studied by electrophysiological methods in NIS-expressing Xenopus oocytes. Using this method, the anion selectivity of NIS was different from that previously reported for thyroid cells, whereas perchlorate and ...

The sodium iodide symporter (NIS): novel applications for radionuclide imaging and treatment.
Cloning of the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) 25 years ago has opened an exciting chapter in molecular thyroidology with the characterization of NIS as one of the most powerful theranostic genes and the development of a promising gene therapy strategy ...

Radioactive Iodine-Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer and Redifferentiation Therapy [PDF]
The retained functionality of the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) expressed in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) cells allows the further utilization of post-surgical radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy, which is an effective treatment for reducing the risk

Expression of the sodium iodide symporter in human kidney [PDF]
The human sodium iodide symporter (hNIS) is a transmembrane protein that mediates the active transport of iodide in the thyroid gland. Following cloning of NIS, NIS expression has been detected in a broad range of nonthyroidal tissues, suggesting that iodide transport in these tissues is conferred by the expression of functional NIS protein.The aim of ...

Iodine status in Turkish populations and exposure to iodide uptake inhibitors. [PDF]
Perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate are competitive inhibitors of the sodium iodide symporter of the thyroid membrane. These inhibitors can decrease iodine uptake by the symporter into the thyroid gland and may disrupt thyroid function.

Distribution and dynamics of Tc-99m-pertechnetate uptake in the thyroid and other organs assessed by single-photon emission computed tomography in living mice [PDF]
Background: Tc-99m pertechnetate is a well-known anion, used for clinical imaging of thyroid function. This gamma emitter is transported by the sodium iodide symporter but is not incorporated into thyroglobulin. Scintigraphy using Tc-99m pertechnetate or

TNFα-mediated activation of NF-κB downregulates sodium-iodide symporter expression in thyroid cells. [PDF]
The sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) mediates transport of iodide across the basolateral membrane of thyroid cells. NIS expression in thyroid cancer (TC) cells allows the use of radioactive iodine (RAI) as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool, being RAI ...
