Abstract excerpt
Transepithelial Cl(-) secretion mediated by apical cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channels plays a key role in cyst fluid accumulation in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The molecular identity of the basolateral transporter(s) responsible for Cl(-) entry in ADPKD cells is unknown, although pharmacological studies suggest that a bumetanide-sensitive...
