Summary: Enables thyroid hormone transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in thyroid hormone transport. Acts upstream of or within with a negative effect on thyroid hormone generation and thyroid-stimulating hormone secretion. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; cochlea; and limb. Used to study Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome and intellectual disability. Orthologous to human SLC16A2 (solute carrier family 16 member 2).

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.
