Cloning and expression of apical membrane water channel of rat kidney collecting tubule

Nature, 1993
Concentrating urine is mandatory for most mammals to prevent water loss from the body. Concentrated urine is produced in response to vasopressin by the transepithelial recovery of water from the lumen of the kidney collecting tubule through highly water-permeable membranes.

Actin as a Component of Cytoskeleton in the Collecting Tubule System of the Mouse Kidney

Urologia Internationalis, 1989
Actin as a component of the cytoskeleton is familiar as a protein which possibly mediates contraction in nonmuscular cells. In 20 mouse kidneys, the distribution of intracellular actin in the collecting tubule system was investigated by means of the anti-actin PAP method.

Specific plasma membrane differentiations in the cells of the kidney collecting tubule

Journal of Ultrastructure Research, 1975
Two types of membrane differentiations were observed by freeze-etching in the cells of the rat kidney collecting tubule. One consists of rectangular arrays of small (70 A) membrane-associated particles and is found in the light cells; the other is represented by particles with an elongated shape measuring about 290 × 160 A and is found in the membrane ...

Control of bicarbonate transport in collecting tubules from normal and remnant kidneys

American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 1989
Bicarbonate transport in the rabbit cortical collecting tubule (CCT) and outer medullary collecting tubule (MCT) in vitro was studied under two types of conditions that were anticipated to alter distal tubule bicarbonate transport: 1) reduction of renal mass, and 2) acid and base loading in vivo.

Detection of a human autoantibody against intercalated cells of kidney-collecting tubule

Journal of Autoimmunity, 1989
Serum from a 24-year-old woman with a history of habitual abortions was examined for autoantibodies by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. Fluorochrome-labelled antibodies to IgG revealed cytoplasmic staining of single cells in rat kidney collecting and connecting tubules.

Similar chloride channels in the connecting tubule and cortical collecting duct of the mouse kidney

American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2006
Using the patch-clamp technique, we investigated Cl−channels on the basolateral membrane of the connecting tubule (CNT) and cortical collecting duct (CCD). We found a ∼10-pS channel in CNT cell-attached patches. Substitution of sodium gluconate for NaCl in the pipette shifted the reversal potential by +25 mV, whereas N-methyl-d-gluconate chloride had ...

Autoradiographic Localization of Corticosterone Receptors (Type III) to the Collecting Tubule of the Rat Kidney

Endocrinology, 1975
Recently, a class of receptors exhibiting high affinity for corticosterone was described in rat kidney (Feldman, D. et al., Endocrinology 92: 1429, 1973). These receptor sites exhibited negligible affinity for dexamethasone and aldosterone and were designated Type III to distinguish them from sites having high affinity for aldosterone (Type I), and ...

BONE AND CALCULI IN THE COLLECTING TUBULES OF THE KIDNEY

Archives of Surgery, 1933
In this paper the occurrence of bone in the human kidney in close association with parenchymatous stones will be described and its bearing on the theory of osteogenesis pointed out. The occurrence of bone in the kidney under experimental conditions has attracted much study since the original demonstration by Sacerdotti and Frattin 1 (1901).

Subcellular distribution of urea transporter in the collecting tubule of shark kidney is dependent on environmental salinity

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological Genetics and Physiology, 2009
AbstractIn the kidney of marine elasmobranchs, urea reabsorption from filtered urine is essential for maintaining high levels of urea in the body. In the kidney of the houndshark, Triakis scyllium, we previously found that a facilitative urea transporter (UT) is localized to a specific nephron segment, the collecting tubule, suggesting that the ...
