| Research Abstract |
Sulfate and borate are abundant anion in seawater (SW), and excretion of excess sulfate and borate from ingested SW is essential for marine fish to survive because they are toxic. Marine teleosts excrete sulfate and borate via the urine produced in the kidney. The transporters that secrete and concentrate sulfate and borate in the urine have not previously been identified. Here, we have identified and characterized candidates for the long-sought transporters by using euryhaline pufferfish mefugu.
