Action and metabolism of thyroid hormone are intracellular events which require the transport of iodothyronines across the plasma membrane through transporters. In recent years, several transporters have been identified which are capable of transporting thyroid hormone. They are members of different transporter families, including organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) family, heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HATs), and monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs).
