Tubular Epithelial Cells In Kidney. In this context several studies have begun to examine the functional role of tubular epithelial cells in this autoimmune disorder. The stc phenotype is characterized by a unique protein expression profile increased robustness during tubular damage and increased proliferation.
In this context several studies have begun to examine the functional role of tubular epithelial cells in this autoimmune disorder. Porcine llc pk1 cells and marsupial ok cells. Two mammalian cell lines are commonly used as models of the proximal tubule.
Normally the tubular epithelium is mitotically quiescent.
An rte cell is distinguished by its eccentrically placed nucleus. Renal tubular epithelial cells rtecs are actively involved in the immune response in the kidney through the production of pro inflammatory cytokines chemokines and via interactions with immune cells 10. An increased number can mean a kidney disorder. Two mammalian cell lines are commonly used as models of the proximal tubule.
