Function
UT2_HUMAN Mediates the transport of urea driven by a concentration gradient across the cell membrane of the renal inner medullary collecting duct which is critical to the urinary concentrating mechanism.[1] [2] Mediates the transport of urea driven by a concentration gradient across the cell membrane of the kidney inner medullary collecting duct which is critical to the urinary concentrating mechanism.[3] [4]
