Neonatal Mortality in an Aquaporin-2 Knock-in Mouse Model of Recessive Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Hereditary non-X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is caused by mutations in the aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channel. In transfected cells, the human disease-causing mutant AQP2-T126M is retained at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where it is functional and targetable to the plasma membrane with chemical chaperones. A mouse knock-in model of NDI was generated by targeted gene replacement using a Cre-loxP...
