Expression of urea transporters in potassium-depleted mouse kidney.
Urea transport in the kidney is mediated by a family of transporter proteins that include the renal urea transporter (UT-A) and the erythrocyte urea transporter (UT-B). The purpose of this study was to determine the location of the urea transporter isoforms in the mouse kidney and to examine the effects of prolonged potassium depletion on the expression and distribution of these transporters by...
متن کاملStudy of Expression Type Iv Collagen During Mouse Kidney Ubulogenesis in Balb/C Mouse
Purpose: In this study specific antibody have been used for tracing type IV collagen basement membrane during renal tubules morphogenesis in mouse fetuses. Materials and Methods: 20 female Balb/C mice were selected randomly and were kept under normal condition, finding vaginal plug was assumed as day zero of pregnancy. 12 pregnant mice were scarified by cervical dislocation in one of gestationa...
متن کاملAltered expression of urea transporters in response to ureteral obstruction.
Urea plays an important role in the urinary concentrating capacity. Renal inner medullary (IM) urea transporter expression was examined in rats with bilateral (BUO) or unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). BUO (24 h) was associated with markedly increased plasma urea (42.4 +/- 1.0 vs. 5.2 +/- 0.2 mmol/l) and a significant decrease in expression of UT-A1 (28 +/- 8% of sham levels), UT-A3 (45 +/...
متن کاملCharacterization of mouse urea transporters UT-A1 and UT-A2.
Specialized transporter proteins that are the products of two closely related genes, UT-A (Slc14a2) and UT-B (Slc14a1), modulate the movement of urea across cell membranes. The purpose of this study was to characterize the mouse variants of two major products of the UT-A gene, UT-A1 and UT-A2. Screening a mouse kidney inner medulla cDNA library yielded 4,047- and 2,876-bp cDNAs, the mouse homol...
متن کاملExpression of OsHAK genes encoding potassium ion transporters in rice
Regulation of K /Na homeostasis is an important mechanism in plant growth. The high-affinity K uptake system plays a central role in this mechanism especially when plants experience environmental stresses of K starvation and high salinity. K channels and the K /Na co-transporter like HKT have been closely studied as principal members of the K transport system in plants. The KT/HAK/KUP family is...
