Abstract Development of the renal medulla continues after birth to form mature renal papilla and obtain urine-concentrating ability. Here, we found that a small GTPase, Rac1, plays a critical role in the postnatal development of renal papilla. Mice with distal tubule-specific deletion of Rac1 reache...
