Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes an integral membrane protein that functions as a transporter of thyroid hormone. The encoded protein facilitates the cellular importation of thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), reverse triiodothyronine (rT3) and diidothyronine (T2). This gene is expressed in many tissues and likely plays an important role in the development of the central nervous system. Loss of function mutations in this gene are associated with psychomotor retardation in males while females exhibit no neurological defects and more moderate thyroid-deficient phenotypes. This gene is subject to X-chromosome inactivation. Mutations in this gene are the cause of Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

Staining summary

Strong membranous positivity was observed in leydig cells, thyroid, paratyroid and adrenal gland. A subset of cells in red pulp of spleen and bone marrow showed strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity Gastrointestinal tract, hepatocytes, exocrine pancreas and kidney showed moderate membranous staining with additional cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining normal tissues were generally negative.
