Is the broad range amino acid transporter which is induced by a renal microvillar cDNA clone the cystinuria gene?
On expression cloning in Xenopus oocytes, the renal cDNA expressed functionally in both the rat and human proximal tubule yields an amino acid transporter with properties generally consistent with representation of the cystinuria gene.
