| NIS

The sodium/iodide cotransporter, also known as the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS), is a protein that is encoded by the SLC5A5 gene. It is a transmembrane glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 87 kDa and 13 transmembrane domains, which transports two sodium cations (Na+) for each iodide anion (I−) into the cell. NIS mediated uptake of iodide into follicular cells of the thyroid gland is the first step in the synthesis of thyroid hormone.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (ng/mL)	10	5	2.5	1.25	0.625	0.312	0.156	0
OD	2.48	1.45	0.93	0.54	0.36	0.24	0.16	0.06
Corrected OD	2.42	1.39	0.87	0.48	0.3	0.18	0.1	-

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Human NIS spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	84-101	96
Plasma(n=8)	93-105	102
Cell Lysates(n=8)	96-108	104

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Human NIS and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)	Cell Lysates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	84-95	86-96	90-110
	Average (%)	91	92	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	93	98	108
