Reference: J:179032 Sharlin DS, et al., Developmental and cell-specific expression of thyroid hormone transporters in the mouse cochlea. Endocrinology. 2011 Dec;152(12):5053-64
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:5311329
Gene symbol: Slc16a2
Gene name: solute carrier family 16 (monocarboxylic acid transporters), member 2
Antibody: anti-Mct8
Detection system: Secondary antibody coupled to Alexa Fluor
Assay notes: The antibody used in this assay produced nonspecific nuclear signal in inner hair cells and spiral ganglion cell.
