Expression of RhCG, a New Putative NH3/NH4 + Transporter, along the Rat Nephron
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
Two non-erythroid members of the erythrocyte Rhesus (Rh) protein family, RhBG and RhCG, have been recently cloned in the kidney. These proteins share homologies with specific NH(3)/NH(4)(+) transporters (Mep/Amt) in primitive organisms and plants. When expressed in a Mep-deficient yeast, RhCG can function as a bidirectional NH(3)/NH(4)(+) transporter. The aim of this study was to determine the intrarenal and...
