Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that disruption of the aquaporin-11 (AQP11) gene in mice resulted in cystogenesis in the kidney. In this study, we aimed to clarify the mechanism of cystogenesis in AQP11(-/-) mice. To enable the analyses of AQP11 at the protein level in vivo, AQP11 BAC transgenic mice (Tg(AQP11)) that express 3×HA-tagged AQP11 protein were generated. This AQP11 localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)...
