Urea transporter UT-A1 as a novel drug target for hyponatremia.
Title: Urea transporter UT-A1 as a novel drug target for hyponatremia.
UT-A1 and AQP2 interactomes provide a snapshot of a dynamic process in which UT-A1 and AQP2 are produced in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, processed through the Golgi apparatus, delivered to endosomes that move into and out of the plasma membrane, and are regulated in the plasma membrane.
Title: Identification of UT-A1- and AQP2-interacting proteins in rat inner medullary collecting duct.
Data indicate that there are several alternative channels for urea in the rat inner medulla that could potentially contribute to the high urea permeabilities in thin limb segments.

Report thiourea analogs as inhibitors of UT-A mediated urea transport.
Title: Structure-activity analysis of thiourea analogs as inhibitors of UT-A and UT-B urea transporters.
Activation of cAMP/PKA increases 14-3-3gamma interactions with UT-A1 and stimulates MDM2-mediated UT-A1 ubiquitination and degradation, forming a novel regulatory mechanism of urea transport activity.
Title: Downregulation of urea transporter UT-A1 activity by 14-3-3 protein.
UT-A1 localized to the apical membrane in response to vasopressin was phosphorylated at Ser(486) and Ser(499).

The highly stable expression of highly glycosylated UT-A3 on the cell membrane in kidney inner medulla suggests that UT-A3 may have an important function in urea reabsorption.

new role of N-linked glycosylation in regulating UT-A1 activity by promoting UT-A1 trafficking into membrane lipid raft subdomains

Study concluded that UT-B1 mediates the transepithelial movement of urea that occurs in specific distal regions of the rat gastrointestinal tract.
Title: UT-B1 mediates transepithelial urea flux in the rat gastrointestinal tract.
Suggest that responsiveness to vasopressin that observed with UT-A1 can be introduced into the unresponsive UT-A2 variant through the Lc segment that is unique to UT-A1. In UT-A3 the Lc segment plays no significant role in its activation by cAMP.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
