SLC5A5 wt Allele Definition

Human SLC5A5 wild-type allele is located within 19p13.2-p12 and is approximately 22 kb in length. This allele, which encodes sodium/iodide cotransporter protein , plays a role in the mediation of iodide transport into the thyroid. Mutations in the gene are linked to hypothyroidism due to an iodide transport defect.
