Three classes of high-affinity Na+-Pi cotransporters are expressed in mammalian kidney. These include Npt1 (type I), Npt2 (type II), and the cellular receptors for gibbon ape leukemia virus (Glvr-1) and amphotropic murine retrovirus (Ram-1) (type III). We defined the tissue distribution as well as the relative renal abundance of Npt1, Npt2, Glvr-1, and Ram-1 mRNAs and examined the effects of low-Pi diet, the Hyp mutation, and growth hormone (GH) on their renal expression by ribonuclease protection assay. In normal mouse kidney, Npt1, Npt2, Glvr-1, and Ram-1 accounted for 15 ± 1.0, 84 ± 1.0, 0.5 ± 0.2, and 0.5 ± 0.3% of total Na+-Pi cotransporter mRNAs, respectively. Evidence was obtained for low-abundance Npt1 mRNA expression in liver and Npt2 mRNA expression in intestine, whereas Glvr-1 and Ram-1 mRNAs were also detected in bone, intestine, heart, and liver. Npt2 mRNA was localized to proximal tubules in the renal outer cortex, whereas Glvr-1 transcripts were detected throughout the kidney by in situ hybridization. The Hyp mutation elicited a significant reduction in renal Npt1 and Npt2 mRNAs (78 ± 8 and 57 ± 3% of normal, respectively), whereas neither low-Pi diet nor GH influenced the renal abundance of Npt1 and Npt2 transcripts. Renal Glvr-1 mRNA expression was significantly increased in Hyp mice and GH-treated mice (145 ± 6 and 165 ± 5% of control, respectively), whereas the renal abundance of Ram-1 transcript was unaffected by either the Hyp mutation, low-Pi diet, or GH treatment. In summary, we demonstrate that Npt2 is the predominant Na+-Pi cotransporter in mouse kidney, that Npt2 and Glvr-1 have distinct patterns of renal expression, and that the Hyp mutation modulates the renal expression of Npt1, Npt2, and Glvr-1 mRNAs. Our results suggest that increased renal Glvr-1 mRNA may contribute to GH stimulation of renal Na+-Pi cotransport.
