Urea Transporters

Urea Transporters edited by Baoxue Yang, Jeff M. Sands.

The mechanisms and physiological functions of urea transport across biological membranes are subjects of long-standing interest. Recent advances in the molecular biology and physiology of urea transport have yielded new insights into how and why urea moves across cell membranes. In the last two deca...
