Therapeutic effect of prenatal alkalization and PTC124 in Na+/HCO3− cotransporter 1 p.W516* knock-in mice
We created Na+/HCO3− cotransporter 1 (NBCe1) p.W516* knock-in mice as a model of isolated proximal renal tubular acidosis showing early lethality associated with severe metabolic acidosis to investigate the thera...
