Transport activities and plasma membrane localization of MCT8 mutant proteins identified in patients with severe psychomotor retardation depend on cell type. Implications for the interpretation of clinical phenotypes

Kinne Anita , Roth Stephan , Schweizer Ulrich , Kohrle Joseph

Objective: Mutations in the gene encoding the thyroid hormone transport protein, monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8), underlie severe mental retardation. In vitro expression of mutant transporters was performed to understand phenotypical differences.Methods: We established cell lines stably expressing 16 MCT8 variants in JEG1 and MDCK cells. Several of these mutants have never been analysed before. The cell lines were characterized according to M...
