Urea transporter UT-B deletion induces DNA damage and apoptosis in mouse bladder urothelium.
<h4>Background</h4>Previous studies found that urea transporter UT-B is abundantly expressed in bladder urothelium. However, the dynamic role of UT-B in bladder urothelial cells remains unclear. The objective of this study is to evaluate the physiological roles of UT-B in bladder urothel...
