SMCT1 mRNA, whole cell and membrane protein expression in the kidney of female and male rats. [A] Fold-change in SMCT1 mRNA expression relative to proestrus females. [B] Whole cell SMCT1 protein expression in kidney with expression normalized to GAPDH expression. [C] SMCT1 membrane protein expression normalized to Na+/K+ ATPase expression. Data presented as mean ± SD. (n = 4–5 rats)
