A key stone cop regulates oxalate homeostasis.
A new study shows that Slc26a6-null mice manifest calcium-oxalate nephrolithiasis accompanied by enhanced net intestinal oxalate absorption. These findings point to a critical role for Slc26a6 in gastrointestinal oxalate secretion and suggest a genetic explanation for a common form of renal stone disease in humans.[1]References
