A Potential Role of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7 in Shell Formation and Growth in the Razor Clam Sinonovacula constricta.

abstract：:In mammals, there are two types of urea transporters; urea transporter (UT)-A and UT-B. The UT-A transporters are mainly expressed in kidney epithelial cells while UT-B demonstrates a broader distribution in kidney, heart, brain, testis, urinary tract, and other tissues. Over the past few years, multiple urea transpor...
