This study delves into the genomic organization of the TRPV5 gene with emphasis on the TRPV5 promoter region, including constructs like pAcGFP1-N1 plasmid, elucidated through detailed flow charts and immunolabeling in various kidney segments such as DCT, CNT, and CCD. The examination extends to the development of DCT2/CNT-specific AQP2 knockout mice. This comprehensive analysis sheds light on the intricate regulation and expression of relevant genes in renal tubules.
