Expression of EMT‐related markers was also found to be increased by ureteral obstruction, and AXL staining was detected in the intertubular interstitial cells, sporadically apical in the tubular epithelial cells of atrophic tubules and in parietal cells of the Bowman′s capsule in glomeruli (Fig. 2Q and R). The gene discussed is AXL; the disease is Ureteral obstruction.
