Mucosal membranes of foregut epithelia of Aplysia californica contain a sodium/sulfate symporter. Mucosal or serosal application of triiodothyronine stimulated the absorptive activity of the sodium/sulfate symporter, whereas reverse triiodothyronine had no effect on it. It appears that thyroid hormone or its molluscan equivalent plays a role in the overall regulation of sulfate homeostasis by the A. californica gut.
