medicine | renalase deficiency is associated with increased renal dopamine synthesis, stimulated phosphate excretion, and moderately severe hypophosphatemia. The signal to increase renal dopamine synthesis is strong since it overcomes a compensatory increase in catechol-O-methyl transferase activity | Mus musculus |

physiological function | renalase knockout mouse model to explore the mechanisms mediating renalase's effect on phosphate excretion. Compared with wild-type mice maintained on a regular diet, knockout mice show decreased serum phosphate and increased urinary phosphate excretion. Both wild-type and knocout mice respond similarly to phosphate restriction by increasing renal catechol-O-methyl transferase COMT-1 activity and markedly decreasing phosphate excretion. Only catechol-O-methyl transferase expression and activity are significantly increased in knockout mice. Urinary dopamine increases by twofold, whereas urinary l-DOPA excretion decreases by twofold in the knockout mouse | Mus musculus |
