Term Name: proximal/distal pattern formation involved in nephron development
Synonyms: proximal-distal pattern formation involved in nephron development, proximal/distal nephron patterning
Definition: The regionalization process in which specific areas of cell differentiation are determined along a proximal/distal axis of a nephron. The proximal/distal axis is defined by a line that runs from the center of the kidney (proximal end) outward (distal end).
