Transepithelial airway thiocyanate transport

Study-specific endpoint; inspect claim context for model and measurement.

2 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. Basolateral iodide reversibly inhibited thiocyanate transport, apparent Ki 9 ± 8 micromolar.

    Experimental context and source evidence
    experimental_model
    Human airway epithelial cells at an air–liquid interface; transepithelial radiotracer transport.
    exposure_category
    Study-specific exposure, including pharmacological and in-vitro conditions; normal is the schema fallback outside the three availability categories.
    limitations
    The proposed apical CFTR route was inferred pharmacologically, not proven by this experiment. This is iodide biology, not a KI-specific counter-ion effect.
