Solute carrier organic anion transporter family, member 1C1
Gene Summary
SLCO1C1 is a member of the organic anion transporter family. SLCO1C1 is a transmembrane receptor that mediates the sodium-independent uptake of thyroid hormones in brain tissues. This protein has particularly high affinity for the thyroid hormones thyroxine, tri-iodothyronine and reverse tri-iodothyronine. Polymorphisms in the gene encoding this protein may be associated with fatigue and depression in patients suffering from hyperthyroidism.
