Cover: Immunocytochemical localization of urea transporter B (UT-B; green) and aquaporin-3 (AQP3; red) in epithelial cells in dog ureter are shown by high-power confocal microscopy. UT-B and AQP3 are present in bladder and ureter and colocalize in epithelial cell membranes except for the apical membrane of the umbrella cells lining the lumen. UT-B and AQP3 likely participate in regulation of cell osmolality and volume in epithelia bathed by urinary constituents which have leaked or been transported across the apical membranes and tight junctions. See related article by Spector DA, Yang Q, and Wade JB. High urea and creatinine concentrations and urea transporter B in mammalian urinary tract tissues. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 292: F467–F474, 2007.
