abstract：:Urea transporters have been cloned from kidney medulla (UT-A) and erythrocytes (UT-B). We determined whether UT-A proteins could be detected in heart and whether their abundance was altered by uremia or hypertension or in human heart failure. In normal rat heart, bands were detected at 56, 51, and 39 kDa. In uremic ra...
