SLC26A6 and nephrolithiasis: Landry et al. used a fruit fly model to study the homolog of Slc26a6 (a nephrolithiasis-related gene involved in oxalate transportation) related to Drosophila (Slc26a5/6 and dPrestin), which found that thiosulfate decreased CaOx stone formation in Malpighian tubules [20].
