The effect of a purified preparation of lecithinase C on iodide transport.
Treatment of porcine thyroid slices with highly purified lecithinase C leads to a marked reduction in the ability to accumulate iodide ion. Although this response is less sensitive as a function of lecithinase concentration than is the ability to respond to thyrotropin with an increase in glucose oxidation, phospholipid synthesis or adenyl cyclase activity, it occurs when the baseline values of these parameters are not substantially altered.
