Abstract Facilitative UT‐B urea transporters play important physiological roles in numerous tissues, including the urino‐genital tract. Previous studies have shown that urothelial UT‐B transporters are crucial to bladder function in a variety of mammalian species. Using the RT4 bladder urothelial cell line, this study investigated the potential osmotic regulation of human UT‐B transporters. Initial end‐point PCR experiments confirmed expression of both UT‐B1 and UT‐B2 transcripts in RT4 cells. Western blotting analysis revealed glycosylated UT‐B protein to be highly abundant and immunolocalization experiments showed it was predominantly located on the plasma membrane. Further PCR experiments suggested that a 48 hr, NaCl‐induced raise in external osmolality increased expression of UT‐B transcripts. Importantly, these NaCl‐induced changes also significantly increased UT‐B protein abundance (p |
