Stable recombinant HEK293 cell line expressing human SLC5A5 (UniProt # Q92911) with a C-terminal
FLAG- tag. SLC5A5 is a sodium-dependent iodide transporter and is a member of the
sodium glucose co-transporter family. The expression of SLC5A5 is confirmed by Western
blotting. This cell line can be used to evaluate agents that may affect iodide transport.

Background
Iodine transport is essential for the production of thyroid hormone (T4). Sodium Iodide
Symporter SLC5A5 (NIS) is a sodium-dependent transporter of iodide into thyroid follicular cells
and other peripheral tissues to support T4 synthesis [1]. Lack of iodide transport can result in
hypothyroidism and can manifest itself in several disease states like goiter formation and weight
gain. SLC5A5 also plays an important role in hyperthyroidism (an excessive production of T4).
Expression and activity of SCL5A5 is altered in several forms of cancer. Inhibitors of SLC5A5
have potential therapeutic benefit for the regulation of iodine overload induced by amiodarone
or other thyromimetics that can result in hyperthyroidism [2].
