Expression of differentiated functions in kidney epithelial cell lines
Abstract
The expression of differentiated functions in long-term cell lines MDCK and LLC-PK1 derived from renal epithelia is briefly summarized. Topics include differentiated transport properties and enzymatic functions expressed by these cell lines, modulation of a differentiated phenotype by exogenous inducers, substratum and cell-cell contact, and possible mechanisms of inducer action.
