Constitutive depletion of Slc34a2/NaPi-IIb in rats causes perinatal mortality

Abstract Absorption of dietary phosphate (Pi) across intestinal epithelia is a regulated process mediated by transcellular and paracellular pathways. Although hyperphosphatemia is a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, the amount of ingested Pi in a typical Western diet is abov...
