Rh Type B Glycoprotein Is a New Member of the Rh Superfamily and a Putative Ammonia Transporter in Mammals
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Ammonium transporters play a key functional role in nitrogen uptake and assimilation in microorganisms and plants; however, little is known about their structural counterpart in mammals. Here, we report the molecular cloning and biochemical characterization of Rh type B glycoproteins, human RhBG and mouse Rhbg, two new members of the Rh family with distinct tissue specificities. The RhBG orthologues possess a...
