Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Mutations in the gene encoding the human sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NPT2), causing reduced phosphate affinity and dominant-negative behavior, were described. We found no evidence of altered kinetics or dominant-negative effects. Thus, the mutations cannot account for the clinical phenotype. INTRODUCTION: Mutations in NPT22a, the gene encoding the sodium-phosphate cotransporter NaPi-IIa, were for...
