Iodides 11-17 solute carrier family 5 member 5 Homo sapiens 29-32 32049985-4 2020 Defective NIS expression is the main reason for impaired iodide uptake in TC and NIS downregulation has been associated with several pathways linked to malignant transformation. Iodides 57-63 solute carrier family 5 member 5 Homo sapiens 10-13 32049985-11 2020 Additionally, TNF-alpha and PMA were shown to have a negative impact on TSH-induced iodide uptake, consistent with the observed transcriptional downregulation of NIS. Iodides 84-90 solute carrier family 5 member 5 Homo sapiens 162-165 32049985-13 2020 A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying NIS expression in the context of normal thyroid physiology may guide the development of pharmacological strategies to increase the efficiency of iodide uptake. Iodides 197-203 solute carrier family 5 member 5 Homo sapiens 52-55
