The emerging physiological roles of the SLC14A family of urea transporters.

British journal of pharmacology - 1 Dec 2011

Stewart Gavin

Abstract excerpt

In mammals, urea is the main nitrogenous breakdown product of protein catabolism and is produced in the liver. In certain tissues, the movement of urea across cell membranes is specifically mediated by a group of proteins known as the SLC14A family of facilitative urea transporters. These proteins are derived from two distinct genes, UT-A (SLC14A2) and UT-B (SLC14A1). Facilitative urea transporters play an...
