Abstract excerpt
Urea transporters (UTs) UT-As (encoded by Slc14A2) and UT-B (encoded by Slc14A1), are important members of the solute carrier family. They are a group of membrane channel proteins that are selectively permeable to urea. Slc14A1 is considered the key gene determining the Kidd blood group system, and its variants can lead to the loss of Jk antigens, resulting in transfusion-related complications. Additionally,...
