Abstract
The Thyroid Hormones (TH) are essential for the development, growth and metabolism. The TH synthesis needs an efficient apical transport of iodide to follicular lumen. However, the apical efflux of iodide is not well known. The clinical phenotype of patients with Pendred Syndrome and the fact that pendrin can mediate iodide efflux in transfected cells suggest that this anion exchanger may…
