Human alpha defensin 5 expression in the human kidney and urinary tract. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The mechanisms that maintain sterility in the urinary tract are incompletely understood. Recent studies have implicated the importance of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) in protecting the urinary tract from infection.

Differential expression of KCNQ1 K+ channel in tubular cells of frog kidney
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2010 The aim of this study was to evaluate KCNQ1 K+ channel expression in the frog kidney of Rana esculenta. KCNQ1 K+ channel, also known as KvLQT1, is the pore forming a-subunit of the IKs K+ channel, a delayed rectifier voltage-gated K+ channel, which has ...

Adaptive changes in GFR, tubular morphology, and transport in subtotal nephrectomized kidneys: modeling and analysis [PDF]
, 2017 Removal of renal mass stimulates anatomical and functional adaptations in the surviving nephrons, including elevations in single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) and tubular hypertrophy. A goal of this study is to assess the extent to which the

Transcellular water flow modulates water channel exocytosis and endocytosis in kidney collecting tubule. [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1991 The regulation of osmotic water permeability (Pf) by vasopressin (VP) in kidney collecting tubule involves the exocytic-endocytic trafficking of vesicles containing water channels between an intracellular compartment and apical plasma membrane. To examine effects of transcellular water flow on vesicle movement, Pf was measured with 1-s time resolution ...
