  1. Pendrin

    Pendrin, also known as sodium-independent chloride/iodide transporter, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC26A4 gene. Pendrin is the protein which is mutated in pendred syndrome, which is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing loss, goiter and a partial organification problem detectable by a positive perchlorate test. By phylogenetic analysis, pendrin has been found to be a close relative of prestin present on the hair cells or organ of corti in the inner ear. Prestin is primarily an electromechanical transducer but pendrin is an ion transporter.
