Slc5a5 - solute carrier family 5 member 5 Gene

Also Known as Nis

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 114613

Summary

Enables sodium:iodide symporter activity. Involved in iodide transmembrane transport and sodium ion transport. Is active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital hypothyroidism and thyroid dyshormonogenesis 1. Orthologous to human SLC5A5 (solute carrier family 5 member 5).
