Expression of Acsm2, a kidney-specific gene, parallels the function and maturation of proximal tubular cells

Abstract excerpt

The acyl-CoA synthetase medium-chain family member 2 ( Acsm2) gene was first identified and cloned by our group as a kidney-specific “ KS” gene. However, its expression pattern and function remain to be clarified. In the present study, we found that the Acsm2 gene was expressed specifically and at a high level in normal adult kidneys. Expression of Acsm2 in kidneys followed a maturational pattern: it was low in...
