| 1 | UT3 mRNA expression by astrocytes is markedly upregulated in quinolinic acid-induced gliosis, possibly as a result of increased urea levels during gliosis induced polyamine formation. | Urea | solute carrier family 14 member 1 (Kidd blood group) | Rattus norvegicus |
| 2 | We propose that UT3 in astrocytes represents a mechanism to control urea formed in the brain by equilibrating it throughout the astrocyte network and guiding it to blood vessels and the CSF for disposal. | Urea | solute carrier family 14 member 1 (Kidd blood group) | Rattus norvegicus |
