Cystinuria is an inherited disorder of renal reabsorption of cystine and dibasic amino acids by dysfunction of the transporter. It results in nephrollthalasis of cystine and leads to kidney failure. 80% of Japanese patients have the same mutation P482L at the C terminal of the cystine transporter. In this study, we have revealed the mechanism for the dysfunction of the mutant transporter in vitro and in vivo. This opens the door for treatment of the disease in the future.
