Physiological sodium concentrations enhance the iodide affinity of the Na(+)/I(−) symporter

The Na(+)/I(−) symporter (NIS) mediates active I(−) transport--the first step in thyroid hormonogenesis-- with a 2Na(+):1I(−) stoichiometry. NIS-mediated (131)I(−) treatment of thyroid cancer post-thyroidectomy is the most effective targeted internal radiation cancer treatment available. Here, to un...
