Specific thyroid hormone transmembrane transporter, that mediates both uptake and efflux of thyroid hormones across the cell membrane independently of pH or a Na(+) gradient. Major substrates are the iodothyronines T3 and T4 and to a lesser extent rT3 and 3,3-diiodothyronine (3,3'-T2) (PubMed:16887882, PubMed:18337592, PubMed:20628049, PubMed:23550058, PubMed:26426690, PubMed:27805744, PubMed:31436139). Acts as an important mediator of thyroid hormone transport, especially T3, through the blood-brain barrier (Probable) (PubMed:28526555).

MCT 8 also known as monocarboxylate transporter 8 is a protein important for transporting thyroid hormones across cell membranes. This transporter has a mass of approximately 61 kDa. MCT 8 is widely expressed in various tissues including the brain liver and kidneys with a significant presence in neurons. This transporter plays an important mechanical role in hormone regulation by facilitating the cellular uptake and efflux of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) critical components for proper cellular function.
MCT 8 serves a significant role in maintaining normal thyroid hormone levels within cells affecting development and metabolism. It does not act alone but operates as part of a cooperative network with other transporters and receptors to ensure precise hormonal balance. Its activity impacts processes like energy generation and usage as well as nervous system development. MCT 8's ability to mediate hormone access to target tissues highlights its importance in these biological processes.
MCT 8 is intricately involved in the thyroid hormone signaling pathway. This pathway influences diverse metabolic and developmental outcomes. MCT 8 works closely with other proteins such as thyroid hormone receptor alpha (THRA) that also bind and respond to thyroid hormones. The synchronization between MCT 8 and these proteins ensures effective communication and function within the hormonal axis impacting metabolic regulation and growth.
MCT 8 mutations connect strongly to Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome a rare neurodevelopmental disorder. This condition arises from disrupted thyroid hormone transport leading to developmental and cognitive deficiencies. Patients typically exhibit reduced T3 levels in the brain. In this context MCT 8's relationship with proteins like THRA reveals how perturbations in hormone transport can cascade into broader physiological abnormalities.
