What's a GeneRIF?

Increased plasma membrane Rhcg expression in response to hypokalemia in the rat, particularly in the outer medullary collecting duct, likely contributes to the increased ammonia excretion and thereby to the development of metabolic alkalosis.
Title: Effect of hypokalemia on renal expression of the ammonia transporter family members, Rh B Glycoprotein and Rh C Glycoprotein, in the rat kidney.
Expression of Rhbg and Rhcg parallels intercalated cell development and that immature Rhbg and Rhcg expression at birth contributes to incomplete ammonia excretion capacity.
Title: Expression of ammonia transporter family members, Rh B glycoprotein and Rh C glycoprotein, in the developing rat kidney.
Altered subcellular localization of Rhcg contributes to adaptive changes in single-nephron ammonia metabolism and maintenance of acid-base homeostasis in response to reduced renal mass.
Title: Effect of reduced renal mass on renal ammonia transporter family, Rh C glycoprotein and Rh B glycoprotein, expression.
We conclude that chronic metabolic acidosis increases Rhcg protein expression in intercalated cells in the OMCD and in the IMCD, where it is likely to mediate an important role in the increased urinary ammonia excretion.
Title: Renal expression of the ammonia transporters, Rhbg and Rhcg, in response to chronic metabolic acidosis.
chronic metabolic acidosis increases apical plasma membrane Rh type C glycoprotein(Rhcg) in both the intercalated cell and principal cell where it may contribute to enhanced apical ammonia secretion
Title: Changes in subcellular distribution of the ammonia transporter, Rhcg, in response to chronic metabolic acidosis.
Review. Animal studies show Rhcg has a role in transmembrane NH3 or NH4+ transport in epithelial cells.
Title: Rh glycoproteins in epithelial cells: lessons from rat and mice studies.
Review. In rat innder & outer kidney medulla, Rhcg has both apical & basolateral expression, increased by chronic metabolic acidosis. Rhcg is present in bile duct epithelia.
Title: Expression of the non-erythroid Rh glycoproteins in mammalian tissues.

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.
