Abstract
⺠Transporters are mandatory for proper thyroid hormone (TH) metabolism and action. ⺠MCT8 represents a highly specific TH transporter. ⺠Mutations in MCT8 are linked to neurological symptoms and abnormal TH profile. ⺠We review the consequences of Mct8 deficiency in mice. ⺠We report on the role of other TH transporters such as Oatp1c1 in mice.
