Description

SLCO1C1 encodes a member of the organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) family, specifically OATP1C1. This transporter is highly expressed in the brain and thyroid, mediating the cellular uptake of thyroid hormones (T4 and T3) and other organic anions. It plays a critical role in thyroid hormone transport across the blood-brain barrier and into target tissues.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Thyroid hormone metabolism disorder Impaired T4 transport due to SLCO1C1 deficiency Case reports, functional studies
Intellectual disability Reduced brain T4 uptake leading to hypothyroidism in CNS Case reports, animal models

Protein Summary

OATP1C1 is a 12-transmembrane domain protein that functions as a sodium-independent organic anion transporter. It specifically transports thyroid hormones (T4, T3) and is essential for brain thyroid hormone homeostasis.
