SLC16A2

Functionⁱ

Very active and specific thyroid hormone transporter. Stimulates cellular uptake of thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), reverse triiodothyronine (rT3) and diidothyronine. Does not transport Leu, Phe, Trp or Tyr.2 Publications

Miscellaneous

Abnormal brain development associated with MCT8 deficiency may be the consequence of either decreased or increased intracellular T3 concentrations.1 Publication

Pathology & Biotechⁱ

Involvement in diseaseⁱ

Monocarboxylate transporter 8 deficiency (MCT8 deficiency)10 Publications

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Disease descriptionConsists of a severe form of X-linked psychomotor retardation combined with abnormal thyroid hormone (TH) levels. Thyroid hormone deficiency can be caused by defects of hormone synthesis and action, but it has also been linked to a defect in cellular hormone transport. Affected patients are males with abnormal relative concentrations of three circulating iodothyronines, as well as severe neurological abnormalities, including global developmental delay, central hypotonia, spastic quadriplegia, dystonic movements, rotary nystagmus, and impaired gaze and hearing. Heterozygous females had a milder thyroid phenotype and no neurological defects.
