Iodide transport in isolated cells of mouse submaxillary gland. Journal of Biosciences. 1986 Sept; 10(3): 303-309.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/160655A method has been developed to isolate cells from the submaxillary gland of mouse by treatment with pronase. Three fractions of cells have been isolated having almost equal iodide concentrating activity. The isolated cells show time dependent uphill transport of iodide. The transport is substrate-saturable, having a Km value of 0·3 μΜ for iodide. The transport is sensitive to antithyroid drugs, metabolic inhibitors and to some extent to ouabain. Pseudohalide such as thiocyanate competes with the transport of iodide. Thyroid hormones or thyroid stimulating hormone have no significant effect on the iodide transport in these cells.enIodide transportiodide concentrationisolated cells of submaxillary glandArticle
