Abstract excerpt
Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is characterized by defective urinary acidification by the distal nephron. Cl-/HCO3- exchange mediated by the AE1 anion exchanger in the basolateral membrane of type A intercalated cells is thought to be an essential component of lumenal H+ secretion by collecting duct intercalated cells. We evaluated the AE1 gene as a possible candidate gene for familial dRTA. We found in...
