Alternative splicing of uromodulin enhances mitochondrial metabolism for adaptation to stress in kidney epithelial cells

Abstract excerpt

In the kidney, cells of thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (TAL) are resistant to ischemic injury, despite high energy demands. This adaptive metabolic response is not fully understood even though the integrity of TAL cells is essential for recovery from acute kidney injury (AKI). TAL cells uniquely express uromodulin, the most abundant protein secreted in healthy urine. Here, we demonstrate that...
