Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Genotypic variability of αENaC mRNA in adult rat kidney caused by deletion at the 3’-end of α-subunit DNA was studied by real-time PCR using specifi c probes with a fl uorescent dye (TaqMan). It was found that mRNA deletion forms (a and b), products of alternative splicing of aENaC gene, are absent in the cortex of adult rat kidney.
