Synonyms AHDS; DXS128; DXS128E; MCT 8; MCT8; MRX22; Monocarboxylate transporter 7; SLC16A2; Solute carrier family 16 member 2; X-linked PEST-containing transporter; XPCT
DT Family Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS)
Monocarboxylate Transporter (MCT) Family
Tissue Specificity Highly expressed in liver and heart.
Function This transporter is a very active and specific thyroid hormone transporter. Stimulates cellular uptake of thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), reverse triiodothyronine (rT3) and diidothyronine. It does not transport Leu, Phe, Trp or Tyr.
Endogenous Substrate(s) Thyroid hormones
