Adaptive changes in GFR, tubular morphology, and transport in subtotal nephrectomized kidneys: modeling and analysis [PDF]
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

The Renal Physiology of Pendrin-Positive Intercalated Cells [PDF]
Intercalated cells (ICs) are found in the connecting tubule and the collecting duct. Of the three IC subtypes identified, type B intercalated cells are one of the best characterized and known to mediate Cl−absorption and HCO3−secretion, largely through the anion exchanger pendrin.

Background: We recently reported that aquaporin 5 (AQP5), a water channel never identified in the kidney before, co-localizes with pendrin at the apical membrane of type-B intercalated cells in the kidney cortex.

Two Compound Heterozygous Were Identified in Gene in Two Chinese Families With Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct [PDF]
Objectives To investigate the genetic causes of hearing loss with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) in two children from unrelated two Chinese families. Methods Sanger sequencing of all coding exons in SLC26A4 (encoding Pendrin protein) was performed on

Modus operandi of ClC-K2 Cl− Channel in the Collecting Duct Intercalated Cells
The renal collecting duct is known to play a critical role in many physiological processes, including systemic water–electrolyte homeostasis, acid–base balance, and the salt sensitivity of blood pressure.

Background and Aims: The thiazide-sensitive Na+-Cl- cotransporter NCC and the Cl-/HCO3-exchanger pendrin are expressed on apical membranes of distal cortical nephron segments and mediate salt absorption, with pendrin working in tandem with the epithelial

Pendrin—A New Target for Diuretic Therapy? [PDF]
Diuretics are among the most frequently used drugs to treat hypertension, congestive heart failure, and edema and play a role in the prevention of some forms of recurrent nephrolithiasis.[1][1]–[3][2] Most commonly used diuretics act by directly inhibiting tubular transport processes, such as ...

Cystic Fibrosis (CF), an inherited multi‐system disease, is caused by mutations in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) that disrupt its ability to secrete anions from epithelia.

Mimicry and well known genetic friends: molecular diagnosis in an Iranian cohort of suspected Bartter syndrome and proposition of an algorithm for clinical differential diagnosis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Bartter Syndrome is a rare, genetically heterogeneous, mainly autosomal recessively inherited condition characterized by hypochloremic hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis.

Regulation of pendrin by pH: dependence on glycosylation [PDF]
Mutations in the anion exchanger pendrin are responsible for Pendred syndrome, an autosomal recessive disease characterized by deafness and goitre. Pendrin is highly expressed in kidney collecting ducts, where it acts as a chloride/bicarbonate exchanger and thereby contributes to the regulation of acid–base homoeostasis and blood pressure.
