Proteome Fingerprint of the Stress Environment in the Renal Papilla
Meeting Abstract 35.6 Friday, Jan. 4 Proteome Fingerprint of the Stress Environment in the Renal Papilla GABERT, B.J.**; K�LTZ, D.; University of California, Davis bjlandgraf@ucdavis.edu The mammalian kidney generates a large and variable osmotic gradient to generate urine with a much higher osmotic concentration than blood. This vital function of the kidney is only possible at the […]
