- Description
- Exhibits thyroid hormone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chordate embryonic development; nervous system development; and thyroid gland development. Predicted to localize to integral component of plasma membrane. Used to study Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome and intellectual disability. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; digestive system; eye; and hindbrain neural keel. Orthologous to human SLC16A2 (solute carrier family 16 member 2).
