| Tissue Specificity | Expression is primarily in thyroid tissue, but also to a lower extent in mammary gland and ovary. Expression is reduced in tumors. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Glycosylated. |
| Function | Sodium:iodide symporter that mediates the transport of iodide into the thyroid gland. Can also mediate the transport of chlorate, thiocynate, nitrate and selenocynate. |
