Genetic abrogation or inhibition of the prostaglandin producing enzymes, Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 or 2a (also known as Cox-1/Ptgs1 and Cox-2/Ptgs2a respectively), or the Prostaglandin E receptor 2a or 4a (Ptger2a, Ptger4a), which we found to be expressed in renal progenitors, triggered an alteration in the balance of distal segment fates. cache/f7623b61c1w.txt txt/f7623b61c1w.txt
