Iodide uptake at the basolateral membrane and iodide efflux at the apical membrane of thyrocytes, essential steps in the biosynthesis of thyroid hormone, are stimulated by thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Pendrin (SLC26A4) is inserted into the apical membrane of thyrocytes and thought to be involved in mediating iodide efflux.
