Abstract
Mucosal membranes of foregut epithelia of Aplysia californica contain a sodium-sulfate symporter that is stimulated by triiodothyronine. Actinomycin D, puromycin, or cycloheximide inhibited the triiodothyronine-stimulated sulfate absorption. It appears that thyroid hormone manifests its effects on sulfate absorption in the A. californica gut through protein synthesis.
