Description
Product Characteristics:
SLC14A1 is one of two major mammalian urea transporters, which play a critical role in the urine-concentrating mechanism. Their abundance is regulated by vasopressin, glucocorticoids, and mineralocorticoids. These regulatory mechanisms may be important in disease states such as diabetes.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: blood group Kidd urea transporter, HsT1341, HUT11, JK, Kidd, kidd JK blood group urea transporter B1, RACH1, solute carrier family 14 urea transporter member 1 Kidd blood group, urea transporter B1, Urea transporter erythrocyte,urea transporter JK glycoprotein, UT B1, UT1, UTE.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane transporter that mediates urea transport in erythrocytes. This gene forms the basis for the Kidd blood group system. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
