Abstract:Study ObjectiveTo identify and characterize the mechanism protein phosphatases use to regulate KCCs activity during ionic homeostasis and the regulation of cell volume via WNK3 kinase.BackgroundSLC12A family are membrane proteins that transport Na+ and/or K+ coupled to Clinside and outside the cell. They regulate cell volume, trans‐epithelial ionic transport, neuron excitability and blood pressure balance. Several members of the family and their regulatory proteins are mutated in human diseases characterized b… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
