Differential expression and immunoreactivity of thyroid hormone transporters MCT8 and OATP1C1 in rat ovary.
Title: Differential expression and immunoreactivity of thyroid hormone transporters MCT8 and OATP1C1 in rat ovary.
We found that dehydration induced anorexia rats showed increased number of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) cells in caudal paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus, as well as a decreased percentage of TRH-expressing neurons that co-expressed monocarboxylate transporter-8 mRNA signal.
Title: Mct8 and trh co-expression throughout the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus is modified by dehydration-induced anorexia in rats.
the coordinated effects of Oatp1c1, Mct8, D2 and D3 in the placental barrier may regulate both transplacental TH passage and the development of trophoblast cells during thyroid dysfunction throughout the pregnancy.
Title: Expression of organic anion transporting polypeptide 1c1 and monocarboxylate transporter 8 in the rat placental barrier and the compensatory response to thyroid dysfunction.
The data demonstrate that OATP1c1 and MCT8 expression are regulated in a parallel manner during inflammation at the blood-brain barrier of rodents.
Title: Parallel regulation of thyroid hormone transporters OATP1c1 and MCT8 during and after endotoxemia at the blood-brain barrier of male rodents.
Prolonged cerebral ischemia causes compensatory increase of MCT8 mRNA expression on the capillary endothelial cell membranes in the lateral ventricle of rats.
Title: [Expression of monocarboxylate transporter 8 mRNA in the brain tissue of rats with cerebral ischemia].
Data report here that in addition to neuronal expression, MCT8 mRNA and protein are expressed in cerebral microvessels in rats.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
