Cloning of the cDNa for a Na+/myo-inositol cotransporter, a hypertonicity stress protein.
Open accessAbstract
Kidney medullary cells in situ, as well as kidney-derived Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells accumulate nonperturbing, small organic solutes (osmolytes), including myo-inositol, when bathed in hypertonic media. Accumulation of osmolytes balances the osmolality of extracellular fluid without raising intracellular salts that would perturb cellular functions. In hypertonic media, increased myo-inositol accumulation is the result of increased activity of a Na+/myo-inositol cotransporter. We have isolated a cDNA encoding a Na+/myo-inositol cotransporter from MDCK cells using expression in Xenopus oocytes. The cDNA sequence predicts a protein of 718 amino acids with a significant amino acid sequence similarity to the Na+/D-glucose cotransporters of absorbing epithelia. Transporter mRNA is present in kidney and brain and is markedly induced in MDCK cells by medium hypertonicity, demonstrating that adaptation to hypertonic stress involves up-regulation of transporter mRNA accumulation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
