Clinical Aspects of Urea Transporters
2014Jk antigens, which were identified as urea transporter B (UT-B) in the plasma membrane of erythrocytes, and which determine the Kidd blood type in humans, are involved in transfusion medicine, and even in organ transplantation. The Jk(a-b-) blood type is a consequence of a silent Slc14A1 gene caused by various mutations related to lineage. In addition,

Genes and Evolution of Urea Transporters
Urea transporters (UTs) are a group of membrane channel proteins that specifically facilitate the permeation of urea, from bacteria to mammals, playing an essential role in urea reabsorption and water conservation. In mammals, there are two subfamilies of UT: the UT-A group originally isolated from the kidney inner medulla, and UT-B originally isolatedYi, Ying +3 more

Physiological Functions of Urea Transporters
Urea transporters (UTs) are a group of membrane channel proteins that specifically facilitate the permeation of urea, which play an essential role in urea reabsorption and water conservation. There are 4 isoforms, UT-A1, UT-A2, UT-A3, UT-B, that are expressed in the kidney to maintain the urea recycle and establish the urea concentration gradient in ...Zhiwei, Qiu +3 more

Expression of Urea Transporters and Their Regulation
2014UT-A and UT-B families of urea transporters consist of multiple isoforms that are subject to regulation of both acutely and by long-term measures. This chapter provides a brief overview of the expression of the urea transporter forms and their locations in the kidney.

Urea transport within the kidney is regulated and varies dramatically between different nephron segments. The terminal IMCD displays very high rates of transepithelial urea transport enabling delivery of large amounts of urea into the deepest portions of the inner medulla to maintain a high interstitial osmolality for concentrating the urine maximally.
