  • Patent number: 5785986
    Abstract: A WCH-1 cDNA probe specific to mRNA expressing a water channel localized in the kidney collecting tubule and complementary to said mRNA, and the sequence has been identified. The same is obtained bya) subjecting a single-chain cDNA prepared from kidney medullary mRNA of a mammal (rat) to PCR using, as degenerate primers, 5'- (T/C)T(T/C/A/G)AA(T/C)CC(T/C/A/G)GC(T/C/A/G)GT (T/C/A/G)AC- 3' (SEQ ID NO:1) and 5'- AA(T/C/A/G)(G/C)(T/A)(T/C/A/G)C(G/T)(T/C/A/G)GC(T/C/A/G) GG(A/G)TT-3' (SEQ ID NO:2), andb) screening a kidney cDNA library of said mammal using a product of said PCR as a probe. WCH-1 protein molecules constituting said water channel can be produced by Escherichia coli producing protein molecules expressed by WCH-1 gene.
