Figure 7

Protein abundance of urea transporter a2b (Ut-a2b) in the gills of Protopterus annectens kept in fresh water on day 0 (FW; control), after 6 days (d; induction phase) or 6 months (mon; maintenance phase) of aestivation, or after 1 or 3 d of arousal (Ar) from 6 mon of aestivation. (A) An example of immunoblot of Ut-a2b (left) and Ut-a2b pre-incubated with immunising peptide for the peptide competition assay (PCA; right). (B) The protein abundance of Ut-a2b expressed as arbitrary densitometric units per 200 μg protein. Results represent mean ± S.E.M. (N = 3). Means not sharing the same letter are significantly different (P < 0.05).
