“…SSF members actively transport anions into cells by using a Na + /K + electrochemical gradient that is generated by Na + /K + ATPase (Jung 2002). Following uptake into thyroid cells, iodide is then transported to the follicular lumen and oxidised by the thyroid peroxidase in a reaction that promotes the iodination of tyrosyl residues of the thyroid hormones tri-and tetra-iodothyronine (T3 and T4) (Massart and Corbineau 2006). 9.1).…”
