Transcriptional repression of taurine transporter gene (TauT) by p53 in renal cells.

Abstract excerpt

Taurine, an intracellular osmolyte whose body pool size is adaptively regulated by the kidney, is required for normal renal development. Overexpression of the p53 tumor suppressor gene in p53 transgenic mice results in renal malformation, suggesting that altered expression of certain p53 target gene(s) involved in renal development may be responsible. This study shows that the taurine transporter gene (TauT) is a...
