Dysfunctional regulation of sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) trafficking can result in ineffective radioiodide uptake in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. Understanding the trafficking pathways of this key protein can be used to optimise radioiodide therapy. Recently, we identified via HiLo microscopy that the protein ADP-ribosylation Factor 4 (ARF4) helps shuttle NIS to the plasma membrane. To understand how ARF4 interacts with NIS mechanistically, we utilised advance...
