Minipig Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells

Details

Minipig renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs) are specialized cells lining the proximal tubule of the nephron and are essential for normal kidney function. They form a selective epithelial barrier and are primarily responsible for the reabsorption of water, ions, and vital nutrients from the glomerular filtrate. In addition, RPTECs actively secrete organic wastes and drugs through specialized transport proteins. Owing to these core functions, RPTECs serve as indispensable in vitro models for studying drug-induced nephrotoxicity, renal transport mechanisms, and the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury and other renal diseases. MileCell provides high-quality, culture-ready animal RPTECs to support reliable in vitro nephrotoxicity and renal transport studies.
