The Sodium-Iodide Symporter

Current Drug Targets - Immune, Endocrine & Metabolic Disorders, 2004
The sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) is an intrinsic plasma membrane protein that mediates active transport of iodide in the thyroid gland and several other extra-thyroidal tissues. This activity has been utilized for many years for imaging the thyroid gland and for treatment of thyroid disease both benign and malignant.

Thyroid hormone stimulates the Na(+)-PO4 symporter but not the Na(+)-SO4 symporter in renal brush border [PDF]

open access: possibleAmerican Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 1993
In our previous studies we established that thyroid hormones [L-thyroxine (T4) or 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3)] elicit an increase in Na(+)-Pi symport in rat and mouse renal brush-border membrane (BBM) vesicles (BBMV), but the Na(+)-coupled symports of other solutes were not influenced. However, a recent report [H. S. Tenenhouse, J. Lee, and N. Harvey.

Sodium Iodide Symporter in Health and Disease

Thyroid, 2001
Radioiodine-concentrating activity in thyroid tissues has allowed the use of radioiodine as a diagnostic and therapeutic agent for patients with thyroid disorders such as well-differentiated thyroid cancer. However, some extrathyroidal tissues also take up radioiodine, contributing to unwanted side effects of radioiodine therapy.

Cloning of the Human Sodium Iodide Symporter

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1996
The iodide concentrating activity of the thyroid gland is essential to the production of thyroid hormone and also provides a mechanism for the treatment of thyroid cancer by radioiodine ablation. We report here the nucleotide and amino acid sequence of the human sodium iodide symporter (hNIS), which mediates the iodide uptake activity in the thyroid ...

The proton-sucrose symport

Photosynthesis Research, 1992
The heterotrophic tissues of the plant are dependent upon carbon and nitrogen import for normal growth and development. In general, oxidized forms of these essential elements are reductively assimilated in the leaf and, subsequently, sucrose and amino acids are transported to the heterotrophic cells in a process known as assimilate partitioning.
